Juan Ignacio Surraco Lamé (born August 14, 1987) is a Uruguayan football midfielder currently playing for Ternana.
Biography
Surraco was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, and at an early age decided to dedicate himself to sports. He was scouted at fifteen by Central Español, where he began his professional career in 2006.
In 2006, he was signed by Italian club Udinese.
In August 2007 he went on loan to Italian Serie B team F.C. Messina.
In March 2015, he returned to his native country to play for El Tanque Sisley.[1]
In August 2015, he was signed by Italian club U.S. Lecce. He scored 6 goals in 28 Lega Pro matches.
In July 2016 he was signed by Serie B side Ternana with a one-year deal.
International career
His talent caught the attention of the team coach and he was soon a regular starter for the team in the Uruguayan football league. At the same time he also impressed scouts for the Uruguayan National Football Team, though he would have to wait a few years and join the U-20 team after he turned eighteen.
On June 23, 2007, he suffered a knee trauma and his participation in the upcoming 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup was at one point in doubt, but eventually he played with the Uruguayan U20 team which drew 2-2 against Spain, beat Jordan 1–0, lost 2-0 against Zambia, and was eliminated in the second round losing 2–1 against the United States of America. Like his team mates Cavani and Suárez, Surraco played in all these games except against Zambia.[2]
