Hipólito Fernández Serrano (born 20 March 1977), known as Poli, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left-back.
After making his professional debut with CF Extremadura in the Segunda División he moved in 2002, alongside teammate David Cortés, to RCD Mallorca, where they were the starting full-backs for three La Liga seasons.
[1] In 2005–06, Poli signed for fellow top-division club Deportivo Alavés,[1] with little individual and team success (nine matches out of 38 for the player, relegation).
[2] With Recre, Poli was used mostly as a backup, although he started in the vast majority of his appearances, helping them to three consecutive top-flight seasons, with relegation befalling in 2009.
[3] Subsequently, he featured sparingly due to injury problems,[4][5] retiring in June 2011 at the age of 34; he only played two league games in his last year.
