Born in Cava de' Tirreni, Campania, Rispoli started his professional career at Brescia Calcio. Having played for the reserve team from 2005 to 2008, he made his professional debut with the first team during the 2007–08 Serie B season.

### Parma and loans

In January 2010, Rispoli was sold to Parma F.C. in a co-ownership deal for €3.5 million, on a 4+1⁄2-year contract. Concurrently, Alessandro Budel and Nicolás Córdova moved to Brescia in a co-ownership deal for €2.5 million and €1 million respectively, who were free agents 1+1⁄2 years ago. Rispoli returned to Brescia on loan until 30 June 2010.

After Sampdoria did not buy him, on 3 July 2012 he left for Calcio Padova, once more on loan.

### Palermo

On 2 February 2015, he moved to Palermo in a temporary deal, with an option to purchase. At the end of year he was released from Parma, due to the club's bankruptcy, and signed a four-year contract with Palermo.
He was released on 30 June 2019 after his expiring contract was not renewed; soon afterwards, Palermo was excluded from Serie B.
