Career
CFR Cluj
He was transferred to the Romanian club from Club de Deportes La Serena in the Liga Chilena de Fútbol. He was a regularly capped player due to his activity on the field and physical endurance.
Culio scored his first two goals in the UEFA Champions League, on 16 September 2008 against AS Roma. His team won 2–1 and Culio was designated the Man of the Match. This helped CFR Cluj obtain some important points in its first ever Champions League appearance. The Cluj fans loved him dearly and also gave him the nickname 'Draculio'. He was one of the most popular football players among CFR's fans.
Galatasaray
On 6 January 2011, Culio signed with Turkish club Galatasaray for reported €2 million.[1][2] He was liked by many fans due to his work rate and professional attitude.
Loan to Orduspor
