Club career

Poltronieri joined the youth ranks of Brujas FC in 2004 and quickly moved up to the First Division side after helping them to the Youth National Title. He plays as a holding midfielder as well as a left sided midfielder. Poltronieri made his debut in the Primera División de Costa Rica on March 15, 2006 as a second half substitute in a 0-0 draw against AD Carmelita. He had his most productive season during the 2006/07 season appearing in 19 first division matches. The 2007/08 season saw Poltronieri split time with the big club and the reserve side Alto Rendimiento de Brujas FC where Brandon was the anchor of the midfield.

Poltronieri was on trial with New York Red Bulls during July 2008 but nothing came of the trial and he was loaned for the 2008 season to recently promoted Portuguese side Leixões S.C.. Brandon has his debut with Leixoes on December 17, 2008 against Gondomar for the Portugal Cup. Brandon is eligible to play for either Costa Rica or the U.S. since he has never played an official game for either team so far.
