Dezmon (Dez) Wallace Giraldi (born 24 March 1986 in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia) is a football (soccer) player.

Club career

Giraldi signed with Australian A-League club Adelaide United for the 2006-07 season, after a four-week stint with the Central Coast Mariners during the 2005-06 A-League season. He has represented Australia at Under-17 and Under-23 level, while also being part of Empoli's squad in the Italian Serie A. Giraldi gave up his squad number when Romario arrived in Adelaide so the Brazilian could wear the #11 he has worn all his career. Dez got the #23 he wanted when he first came to the club. He was released by Adelaide United at the end of the 2007–2008 season. He moved to NSW Premier League club Wollongong Wolves before signing a six-week loan contract with A-League club Sydney FC to replace the injured Brendon Santalab.^[1] In mid 2008 after being released from his short loan spell at Sydney FC.
