Hipólito Fernández Serrano, aka Poli (born 20 March 1977), is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left defender.

Over the course of eight seasons he played 191 games in La Liga, namely with Mallorca and Recreativo (three years apiece). He added 157 and four goals in Segunda División.

Football career

Poli was born in Seville, Andalusia. After making his professional debuts with CF Extremadura in Segunda División, he moved in 2002, alongside teammate David Cortés, to RCD Mallorca, where they were the starting fullbacks during three La Liga seasons.

In the 2005–06 campaign Poli signed for Deportivo Alavés, with little individual (nine matches out of 38) and team (top level relegation) success. In the following season he joined Recreativo de Huelva, freshly promoted to the top flight.

With the Andalusians, Poli was used mostly as a backup (although he started in the vast majority of his appearances), helping Recre to three consecutive first division seasons, with relegation befalling in 2008–09. Subsequently he featured sparingly due to injury problems, retiring in June 2011 at the age of 34 (he only played in two league games in his last year).
