Persik Kediri Add Former Australia U-23 Forward Reno Piscopo to Boost Their Attack

Persik Kediri have officially completed the signing of Reno Piscopo as they prepare for the 2026/2027 Super League season. The 28-year-old forward arrives from A-League side Melbourne Victory and is expected to bring greater attacking quality to the Macan Putih squad. His arrival adds another experienced option as Persik look to compete more strongly in the upcoming campaign.

Piscopo is a versatile attacker who can play as a central striker, attacking midfielder, or winger on either flank. That flexibility could prove valuable for Persik, giving head coach Marcos Reina more tactical options when building his starting lineup. His ability to operate in several attacking positions is also expected to create stronger competition for places alongside Jon Toral, Ernesto Gomez, Ezra Walian, Sergio Castel, and Jose Enrique.

The Australian-Italian player has an interesting football background, having spent time in the youth systems of Inter Milan and Torino before developing his professional career. He also previously represented Australia at Under-23 level. His experience in different football environments is expected to help Persik as they aim to improve their attacking output and remain competitive against some of the strongest teams in the league.

Piscopo is joining Persik with clear ambitions for his new challenge in Asia. The forward is eager to contribute to the team's results and help them finish the season as high as possible in the Super League standings. His arrival also comes at a significant moment for the club, as Persik continue to strengthen their squad ahead of a demanding domestic campaign.

The signing makes Piscopo only the second Australian player to represent Persik Kediri, following defender Ante Bakmaz, who played for the club in the 2020 season. Supporters will now be eager to see how the new forward adapts to Indonesian football and contributes on the pitch. With his versatility, experience, and attacking ability, Piscopo could become an important part of Persik's plans for the 2026/2027 season.
