Luca Rigoni (born 7 December 1984) is an Italian footballer who plays for Genoa in Serie A. He is the elder brother of Nicola Rigoni. He can play as a right or central midfielder.
Born in Schio, Province of Vicenza, Veneto, Rigoni started his career at hometown club Vicenza. He played his first league match on 24 May 2003 against Cagliari Calcio, on the 35th matchday, towards the end of the Serie B season. In the 2003–04 season he became one of the members of the first team, playing 31 league matches.
After the club almost relegated to Serie C1 in 2005, Rigoni along with Davide Biondini were sold to Serie A struggler Reggina (in a co-ownership deal for €900,000 and €500,000 respectively; Ricardo Esteves moved to Vicenza for €500,000). However Rigoni failed to enter the first team. He was loaned back to Serie B for Piacenza in mid-season. Circa January Reggina also acquired Biondini outright for another €700,000, with Simone Cavalli moved to Vicenza for €775,000.
In June 2006 Vicenza bought back Rigoni for €1 million (with and Esteves moved back to Reggina for the same fee) He was offered a new four-year contract which last until 30 June 2010. Since returned to Vicenza, he became the regular starter, but in January 2008, he moved to Chievo in another co-ownership deal, for €1 million (€850,000 plus 50% registration rights of Mattia Marchesetti).
