Gioele Celerino (born 4 October 1993) is an Italian professional rugby league footballer who plays for the Saint-Gaudens Bears in the Elite One Championship and Italy at international level.

Primarily playing as a {{rlp|sr}}, he was a member of Italy's 2013 and 2017 World Cup squads.

Playing career

At the time of the 2013 World Cup, Celerino was playing for the North West Roosters. He was the only Italian-born player selected in the World Cup squad, and one of only two players selected from the Italian domestic competition (alongside Fabrizio Ciaurro).{{cite web|date=24 September 2013|title=Italy name squad for RLWC2013|url=http://www.rlwc2013.com/rugby-league-world-news/article/1117/italy-name-squad-for-rlwc|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927082325/http://www.rlwc2013.com/rugby-league-world-news/article/1117/italy-name-squad-for-rlwc|url-status=usurped|archive-date=September 27, 2013|publisher=RLWC2013.com}} Celerino did not feature in a World Cup match, but did play in Italy's non-Test friendly against England prior to the start of the tournament.{{cite web|date=19 October 2013|title=Rugby League World Cup: England stunned by Italy|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-league/24565586|publisher=BBC|accessdate=15 June 2017}}{{cite web|last=Howes|first=Ash|date=20 October 2013|title=England 14 Italy 15: we now face the biggest week of our lives, says England captain Kevin Sinfield|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyleague/10392267/England-14-Italy-15-we-now-face-the-biggest-week-of-our-lives-says-England-captain-Kevin-Sinfield.html|publisher=The Telegraph}}

On 25 January 2016, it was announced that Celerino had signed with the semi-professional Newcastle Thunder in England's third-tier League 1 competition.{{cite web|date=25 January 2016|title=Celerino joins Thunder|url=http://www.thunderrugby.com/article/48411/celerino-joins-thunder|publisher=thunderrugby.com|accessdate=15 June 2017}}

In July 2017, Celerino moved to Australia to play with the Tully Tigers in the amateur Cairns District Rugby League.{{cite web|last=Portoghese|first=Matteo|date=15 July 2017|title=Rugby League – A Tully (Queensland, Australia) Celerino, Boscolo e Pezzano, talenti Made in Italy|url=http://www.mondosportivo.it/2017/07/15/rugby-league-ai-tully-tigers-queensland-australia-gioele-celerino-simone-boscolo-e-edoardo-pezzano-talenti-made-in-italy/|publisher=Mondo Sportivo|accessdate=12 October 2017|language=Italian}} In October 2017, Celerino was named in Italy's squad for the 2017 World Cup.{{cite web|date=10 October 2017|title=Rugby League World Cup – Gli azzurri|url=http://www.firl.it/2017/10/10/rugby-league-world-cup-i-25-azzurri/|publisher=Federazione Italia Rugby League|accessdate=12 October 2017|language=Italian|archive-date=14 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014073936/http://www.firl.it/2017/10/10/rugby-league-world-cup-i-25-azzurri/|url-status=dead}} In 2018, Celerino joined his Italian teammate Terry Campese at the Queanbeyan Blues.{{cite web|title=Gains and Losses: Queanbeyan Blues|url=http://www.crrl.com.au/gains-and-losses-queanbeyan-blues/|publisher=CRRL.com.au|accessdate=9 March 2018}}{{cite web|last=Willacy|first=Gavin|date=14 February 2018|title=Wigan and Hull’s trip to Australia shows Super League suits the road|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/no-helmets-required/2018/feb/14/wigan-hull-australia-super-league-on-the-road|publisher=The Guardian|accessdate=9 March 2018}}
