But in summer 2003, he left Roma's Primavera[2] for Serie C1 side Teramo Calcio and played the last 4 matches of the 2003–04 season.
Paoloni was signed by Serie B side Ternana in co-ownership deal from Teramo in 2005, where he played as Tommaso Berni's backup, along with Lorenzo Bucchi.
[6] On 1 June 2011,[7] Paoloni was arrested following an investigation that showed he had poisoned his own team's water bottles in a failed attempt to throw a game against Paganese to settle outstanding gambling debts.
[8] Further investigation showed he had also worked as an agent for match fixers in games he was not personally involved in[8] in Serie B and Lega Pro.
In the next 5 matches of the tournament, he never received any call-up again, as the coach has tested Tommaso Berni (already played for U21 in 2002), Mario Cassano, Bianchi, Alfonso De Lucia, Francesco Scotti, Davide Capello and Paolo Comi in the U21 feeder team.
