Club career

Juventus

D'Elia started his career working his way through the Juventus youth ranks since 1998, before he made his way to the Primavera youth squad in 2007.[2] After being promoted from the youth sector of the Turin-based club, D'Elia was sent out on loan the following season.

Loan Stints

He never managed a senior team debut with Juventus, but after graduating the youth team in July 2009, he was loaned out to third-tier club, A.S. Figline, along with teammates, Marco Duravia, Nicola Cosentini, and Alessandro D'Antoni. He made 18 appearances in his first season with the club, and returned to Juventus on 2 July 2010. D'Elia was then sent out again on loan to newly promoted Serie B outfit Portogruaro, ahead of the 2010–11 Serie B campaign, where he went on to make just 12 league appearances. On 30 June 2011, D'Elia returned to Juventus, and spent the entire 2011–12 Serie A campaign training and playing with the youth sector. Prior to the 2012–13 Serie A season, however, he was farmed out on loan to Lega Pro Prima Divisione outfit Venice.

Vicenza

On 31 January 2013 he was officially sold to Vicenza Calcio (for €400,000) along with Nicolò Corticchia (for €600,000), as part of the deal that saw Michele Cavion transfer to Juventus for €1 million. D'Elia remained on loan at Venezia until 30 June 2013.[3] D'Elia signed a 3½-year contract with Vicenza.[4]

D'Elia was assigned number 3 shirt in 2014–15 season. However, in 2015–16 season the club assigned a new shirt number (number 6) to D'Elia,[5] as the no.3 shirt was retired for former Vicenza footballer and coach, late Giulio Savoini. On 8 June 2015 D'Elia signed a new three-year contract.[6]

On 22 December 2016 D'Elia signed a new contract again with Vicenza, which would last until 30 June 2020.[7]

Ascoli

On 9 August 2018 he joined Serie B club Ascoli on a 3-year contract.[8]

Frosinone

On 14 January 2020 he signed with Serie B club Frosinone.[9]
