Early career

Born in Naples, D'Ambrosio began playing for local Campania side Salernitana. However, the club went bankrupt and he, along with his brother Dario, joined the Fiorentina youth team in 2005.[1] He was part of the Fiorentina primavera until December 2007, but on 8 January 2008 he was sold to Serie C1 side Potenza in a co-ownership agreement. He made his professional debut on 20 January 2008 in Potenza-Juve Stabia 2-1, collecting 10 appearances during the season. In June 2008 Fiorentina bought back D'Ambrosio.[2][3]

Juve Stabia

On 11 July 2008 he joined Lega Pro Prima Divisione side S.S. Juve Stabia in another co-ownership deal, for €30,000,[4] making his debut for Le vespe on 31 August 2008 against Taranto.[5][6] He became a starter for Juve Stabia in his first season, who decided to purchase his remaining contract from Fiorentina for another €75,500.[4][7] He spent the next season mostly playing as a right midfielder, even scoring his first goal in Juve Stabia-Barletta 4-1.[8][unreliable source?]

He was a regular for Torino during the season, scoring his first goal for the granata on 20 March 2010 in Modena-Torino (0-2). Torino purchased his remaining half from Juve Stabia in June 2010.

He scored the first brace of his career in Torino-Modena (3-2), his only goals of the season.[citation needed] On 15 December 2010 he renewed his contract with Torino until 2014.[10] However, his season characterised by negative performances and Torino's failure to reach the playoffs made him the object of much criticism.[11]

New head coach Giampiero Ventura decided to focus on Danilo for the 2011–12 season, playing him as right back with Matteo Darmian. On 2 November 2011, he scored the winning goal against Reggina.[12] He repeated this on 11 February 2012, scoring against Nocerina 3-1.[13] Throughout the season he contributed 26 appearances and 3 goals with Torino being promoted.

He made his Serie A debut on 26 August 2012 against Siena 0-0, but did not start until 26 September against Udinese (0-0).[14][15] He scored his first goal in Serie A during a 5-1 win away to Atalanta.[16] In December 2012 he became Torino's vice-captain after Angelo Ogbonna suffered an injury.[citation needed] He was voted Torino's revelation of the year by the readers of Toro.it.[17]

D'Ambrosio covered as a left back in the 2013-14 season, scoring against Milan (2-2) on 14 September 2013.[citation needed] He scored again the following week away to Bologna, won 2-1 by Torino.[18] On 13 December 2013, Torino chairman Urbano Cairo confirmed that D'Ambrosio would be leaving the club after turning down a contract extension.[19] The former vice-captain concluded his experience at Torino with 119 appearances and 10 goals.
