Career
Born in Arica, Poli began his career with Santiago-based club Universidad Católica, with whom he won the Chilean Primera División title in 1997 and 2002. He went on trial with Manchester United in July and August 1997, and played in three friendlies for the club, but was not signed on a permanent basis. In 2003, he left Chile for Argentine side Nueva Chicago, but shortly after finally moved to Europe to sign for Greek club Skoda Xanthi. However, he lasted only a season there before returning to Chile with Unión Española in 2004. He moved to the Puerto Rico Islanders in 2005, where he finished his career, retiring in 2006.
Poli now works as a sport commentator on Chilean sport channel CDF.
