Ortigia, avanti con Riccardo Torrisi: l’attaccante catanese rinnova fino al 2027

The Circolo Canottieri Ortigia project builds on one of last season's key strengths. The Syracuse club has officially renewed its contract with Riccardo Torrisi, who will continue to wear the green and white cap in the 2026/2027 season, confirming the club's commitment to continuing its coaching career. The Catania-born all-around player is one of the most important players on the Ortigia team, thanks to his speed, versatility, and ability to score in decisive moments. After a first year of steady improvement, Torrisi will now be available to new coach Koljanin, who will be able to count on a player who is already perfectly integrated into the team and capable of making significant contributions both offensively and in teamwork. Last season, the water polo player scored 48 goals, numbers that demonstrate the impact he has had on the Syracuse team's progress. His performances, especially in the second half of the season, have been crucial in achieving the goal of remaining in the top flight, confirming him as one of the team's key players. With this renewal, Torrisi will have the opportunity to continue his growth, seeking to further improve his personal performance and contribute to Ortigia's ambitions in a championship that promises to be once again particularly balanced and challenging. The player expressed great satisfaction after signing the new agreement. "I am very happy to continue my adventure with Ortigia. After just one season, I already feel part of this team and consider Siracusa a second home. From the moment I arrived, I found a club, a staff, and a group that welcomed me like family, and it was a natural choice to continue on this path. I thank the club for the trust they have placed in me: this renewal represents an additional incentive to give my all every day. We are aware that the next season will be even more challenging and that we will have to achieve every result through daily work." I can't wait to get back in the water and start this new season with my teammates." With Torrisi's confirmation, Ortigia adds another piece to the roster for the 2026/2027 season, aiming to consolidate the positive results seen in the last championship and face the challenges that await the green-and-white team with renewed ambition.
