Career edit

Terranova started his career playing with a number of local amateur teams, including Eccellenza side Campobello,[1] then joining the Palermo youth system in 2005 and playing with the Primavera under-20 squad with the rosanero.

He successively spent the entire 2007–08 season on loan to Vicenza of Serie B,[2] being also often featured as a regular. He played the 2008–09 season again out on loan, this time to Livorno,[3] being part of the Tuscans' successful campaign that led them back to Serie A after only one season.[4] Livorno decided not to make an offer for a permanent deal, so Terranova returned to Palermo, and joined Walter Zenga's first team squad.[5]

On 19 August 2009, Terranova was loaned out to Serie B outfit Lecce, with an option for the giallorossi from Apulia to buy half of the player's transfer rights at the end of the season, which the club did not use.[6] In July 2010, Terranova went out on loan again, this time to Frosinone.[7]

On 1 July 2011, Serie B club Sassuolo announced that they had completed the permanent signing of Terranova from Palermo.[8]

On 17 August 2018, Terranova signed with Cremonese.[9] On 30 August 2021, he was loaned to Bari, with an obligation to buy in case of Bari's promotion to Serie B.[10]

On 31 January 2023, Terranova moved to Reggina on a year-and-a-half-long contract.[11]

On 8 September 2023, Terranova signed a one-season contract with Benevento.[12]
