Club Career

Bari

Born in Bari, he began his football career with hometown club A.S. Bari, entering the youth system. He made his debut at the end of the 2008–09 Serie B season, on 16 May 2009, replacing Daniele De Vezze in a 4–1 win against Modena. He was confirmed for the first team the following season, but never played, instead he continued to play with the youth team.

In July 2010, he was loaned to Lucchese along with Alessandro Marotta, but in August moved to Barletta. He played the league first match as substitute, replaced defender Alessio Lanotte (that match Barletta played a 4-3-3 formation) and started as the attacking midfielder in the next round (4-3-1-2 formation). He was the playmaker in 4-3-1-2 formation or one of the supporting striker in 4-3-2-1 formation.

On 1 July 2011 he signed a new 3-year contract with Bari.

On 27 August 2012, half of the registration rights of Bellomo was sold to Cheivo for €1.75 million (€350,000 cash plus half of the registration rights of Andrea De Falco). Bellomo immediately returned to Bari in temporary deal.

Torino

On 3 July 2013 Bellomo was sold to Serie A club Torino for €1.2 million with Chievo retaining 50% of his registration rights in co-ownership. He made his debut for the Granata during the third round of the 2013–14 Coppa Italia against Pescara, lost 1–2, and in Serie A on 25 September playing a full match against Hellas Verona, 2–2.
