Ternana
Russini joined Umbrian side Ternana in 2011, along with Antonio Palumbo. Russini was the top-scorer for their under-17 team in 2012–13 season, despite few goals behind the league topscorer. The team finished as the fifth of Group C, failing to qualify to the playoffs.
Juventus
On 10 July 2013 half of the registration rights of Russini was signed by Serie A giant Juventus for €650,000, as part of Alberto Masi's deal to Ternana. Russini signed a three-year contract. He was immediately loaned back to Ternana, which was extended in 2014–15 season. Russini left Juventus on 25 June 2015 without any appearance.

Despite a player for their reserve, Russini also received no.27 shirt from the first team of Ternana Calcio. Russini was a player for the first team in 2013 pre-season friendly. In June 2014 the co-ownerships of Masi and Russini were renewed. Russini also returned to Ternana for 2014–15 Serie B season.
