Heden Corrado (born 5 March 2002) is an Italian footballer who plays as defender for the Italian club Pomigliano CF on loan from Roma . ^[1] She graduated from Roma's youth teams and has represented her country at U-16 and U-17 level.

Club career [ edit ]

Corrado originally trained as a midfielder at youth level before she was moved to the backline to become a ball-playing defender. The decision led to Corrado becoming a key player in Res Roma Primavera's consecutive league title wins. ^[2] By the summer of 2018, Res Roma sold their Serie A license to newly-formed club A.S. Roma and transferred Corrado's playing rights to her new club.

Corrado began playing for A.S. Roma at senior level during the 2018?19 season, but she suffered a traumatic knee injury early in the season that put her out of action for a lengthy period.

Despite spending a year out recovering from major injury, Corrado was still named in the press as one of Italy's most promising talents in 2019. ^[3] Corrado spent the latter half of 2019 making her comeback to pitch, and was trusted to wear the captain's armband at international level for the Italy U-17 team. ^[4] Despite the faith shown in her by her country, she could not break into Roma's first team in Serie A from 2019 onwards. However, Corrado did play for Roma in the 2020?21 Coppa Italia success, which led to Corrado picking up a Coppa Italia winner's medal when Roma defeated AC Milan in the 30 May 2021 final. ^[5]

On 15 July 2021, it was officially announced that Corrado moved on loan to Napoli for the 2021-2022 season. ^[1]

Style of play [ edit ]

Corrado is a ball-playing defender who is very comfortable carrying the ball out of the backline to help her team's build-up play. Her physical stature and strength help her to win aerial and physical duels against individual opponents. ^{[
