PLDC - Geona, Jami Rafati is the first Iranian since Rahman Rezaei to play in Italy's Serie A.

The 19-year-old, who was born in Florence, started his youth career in Genoa. He was transferred back to Genoa from West Ham after spending time playing in England's U-21 league.

The Iranian-Italian center midfielder will be featured in Genoa's preseason games to be tested out by the club.

He will most likely get an opportunity from Carlos Queiroz to prove himself at one of Iran's preparation camps for WC 2014.
