Club career

Youth career

Volpato first started playing football in Abbotsford, a suburb of Sydney, where he was a prolific goalscorer. This allowed him to take his first steps into professional football at Andrea Icardi's AC Milan Soccer School, Sydney FC and the Western Sydney Wanderers academy. He soon earned a trial in the AS Roma Youth Sector through Fabrizio Piccareta. After a few months in Rome where Volpato showed his attacking abilities, he signed a three-year contract with the club from the Italian capital in January 2020. He also joined Francesco Totti's agency one month later despite having taken the number 10 shirt with Roma's Youth. One year later, Volpato signed his first professional contract with Roma, a new three-year contract tying him to the club until 2024. As the youth competitions were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, he became a regular with the under-18, scoring five goals during the 2020–21 season before earning a place in the under-19 squad.

Roma

On 4 December 2021, Volpato made his professional debut for Roma at the age of 18 in a Serie A match lost 3–0 against Inter Milan. On 19 February 2022, Volpato scored his first Serie A goal in a match drawn 2–2 against Hellas Verona. After making his debut in the UEFA Europa League with Roma, Volpato made his first league appearance the following season on 31 October 2022, coming on as a substitute for Nicolò Zaniolo at the 57th minute of the match against Hellas Verona.

International career

Volpato is a dual citizen of both Australia and Italy. He is eligible to represent either country at international level due to FIFA eligibility rules that state a soccer player can represent a nation if at least one parent or grandparent was born in a country other than their birthplace, and Volpato fulfills the criteria due to his grandparents being Italians.

Italy

In early August 2021, Volpato was called by Carmine Nunziata to the Italy national under-19 team, but was forced to forfeit a few days later. In June 2024, Volpato took part in the Maurice Revello Tournament in France with Italy.

Australia

On 12 December 2021, it was reported that Australia national team coach Graham Arnold was considering calling up Volpato for the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification against Vietnam and Oman. He was also called up to the Australia U23 team, but Roma withdrew him from the squad. In March 2022, following Australia's 2–0 loss against Japan, Volpato posted an image on his Snapchat story poking fun at the team, leading to many fans calling him as "childish" and "immature". With Australia announcing their World Cup squad on 8 November, Arnold disclosed that Volpato had been offered a spot there, but rejected the opportunity. In May 2026, Volpato was called up for Australia's 2026 World Cup squad, effectively ending debate over his national team selection. On 6 June, Volpato made his debut for Australia as a starter in a friendly match against Switzerland…

Style of play

Volpato can play both as a midfielder or a winger. Seen as a regista or deep-lying playmaker in his early career, he is often compared to Francesco Totti, his model who wore No. 10 shirt as an AS Roma soccer player and direct mentor in his first year with said club.
