Messina was a youth product of Calcio Catania. Messina was a player of their under-15 team in 2007–08 season.^[1] After a loan to Milazzo, Messina returned to Catania. He served as the backup keeper of the first team, as well as the first choice of the reserve team, as one of the four overage player.
