Club career

Born in Turin, Continella played in the youth sectors of Juventus[2][3] and Spezia,[4][5] before joining Torino in the summer of 2020.[3][5]

In August 2021, he joined Serie D side Casale on a permanent deal.[6][7] Throughout the 2021–22 season, he made a total amount of 35 senior appearances and scored two goals, as the club finished third in their group and reached the play-offs, before eventually missing out on promotion.[2][3][8]

On 19 July 2022, Continella officially joined Cypriot club AEL Limassol on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract, with an option for two more seasons.[2][9][10] He subsequently made his professional debut on 28 August 2022, starting in a 2–1 league defeat to Aris Limassol.[11] On 30 April 2023, he scored his first professional goal in a 1–1 league draw against Olympiakos Nicosia.[12]
