Brandón Anthony Poltronieri Méndez (born January 18, 1986), is an American-born Costa Rican soccer player who currently plays for Arizona United SC.
Club career
Poltronieri was actually born in Los Angeles, California, but moved to Aserrí, Costa Rica at a young age.[citation needed] The midfielder began his professional career in 2008 as a member of Costa Rican side Brujas FC, where he would eventually play alongside current Silverbacks defender Ryan Roushandel.[citation needed]
While at Brujas FC, Poltronieri went out on loan to Leixões SC of the Portuguese top flight.[1] Following his stint in Portugal in 2009, he returned to Costa Rica, where he would play for two more clubs (Barrio México and Universidad de Costa Rica) from 2010-2013 before settling in at Carmelita.[2]
From January 2014, the former Costa Rica youth international was a key player for AD Carmelita, making 18 appearances and scoring 2 goals.[citation needed]
Poltronieri is a left-footed player that prefers playing left back, however, he can also be deployed as a left midfielder.[citation needed]
On February 11, 2015 Poltronieri signed with Ottawa Fury FC of the NASL.[3]
After the 2015 season, in which Poltronieri made 15 league appearances, he was re-signed by the club on December 14, 2015.[4] On March 26, 2016 it was confirmed via Twitter that Poltronieri had signed with Arizona United of the USL.[5]
