Welling United are delighted to confirm the return of defender Riccardo Di Trolio on loan from Coventry City.

The 19-year-old defender enjoyed an impressive loan stay with the Wings during the 2023/24 season, playing a vital part in the club’s successful fight for survival, making 11 appearances after joining in March.

Di Trolio had previously joined the Sky Blues from St Albans City in January 2023 and returned to the National League South club on loan for the remainder of the campaign before linking up with Coventry permanently for the 2023/24 campaign.

He has represented Coventry’s U21 side this season and he now joins the Wings as Rod Stringer’s latest recruit to bolster his defence with an initial one-month loan.
