Diego Raymond De Girolamo (born 5 October 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for League Two club Cheltenham Town, on loan from Championship club Bristol City.
Born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, De Girolamo came through the youth system at Sheffield United before signing a professional contract. He had three loan spells with League Two club York City during the 2014–15 season. He finished the season on loan with another League Two team, Northampton Town. After being released by United, De Girolamo joined Championship club Bristol City in July 2016. Qualifying to represent Italy through his father, he was capped for the under-18, under-19 and under-20 teams.
De Girolamo came through the youth system of Sheffield United from the age of seven, and despite interest from Manchester United and Manchester City, he signed a three-year professional contract with the club at the end of October 2012. At the start of the following December, he made his first-team debut in the quarter-final of the Football League Trophy against Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena. De Girolamo's first league appearance for United came in a victory over Colchester United in February 2013, where he replaced Ryan Flynn as a last minute substitute, providing an assist for Dave Kitson to score the final goal in a 3–0 victory. After one further appearance for United, De Girolamo picked up a knee injury whilst playing for Italy under-18s in March, which kept him out of first-team contention for nine months, not returning to full training until early December 2013. De Girolamo returned to United's first team on 7 October 2014 as they won 2–1 away to Hartlepool United in the Football League Trophy.
