Club career

Early years

Canales previously played for Deportes La Serena in the Primera Division de Chile.[1]

Unión Española

In January 2010 River Plate signed the striker from Unión Española on a 70% to 30% joint ownership deal for around $1 million until 2013.[2] After a poor season with los millonarios, Canales returned to Chile to play for Unión Española.

Universidad de Chile

On 20 December 2010, Canales signed a one-year deal with Universidad de Chile for a fee of US$1.2 million, being the most expensive transfer of this club. He also arrived as naturalized player.[3][4]

On June 11, Canales led Universidad de Chile to their 14th title by scoring a Hat-trick against Universidad Católica in the Apertura 2011 final.

Some months after, in December 2011, the club was champion of the 2011 Copa Sudamericana. In the tournament, Canales scored three goals (the most important of these was against CR Vasco da Gama in the semifinals).

Dalian Aerbin

Canales joined Chinese Super League side Dalian Aerbin on 11 February 2012 for a fee of US$2.6 million and signing a three-year deal.[5] Canales scored four goals in his first five league games with Dalian Aerbin.
