Mehrdad Pooladi officially signed a 2-year contract with Tehran’s based club, Persepolis FC. This defender used to play for Persepolis FC in AFC Champions League tournament. Persepolis already eliminated by Al Ittihad from that Asian tournament.

“There were some problems for me to renew my contract with Persepolis FC. But all of them resolved after holding a session with Royanian (the president of Persepolis). So I am happy to announce that I have renewed my contract for two years. We also submitted the deal in Federation too. However the second year of my contract is optional. Its like a bliss for me to play in this club but I must consider all the options in future too. We will try to win at least one title with Persepolis if fans support us.” Mehrdad Pooladi said after renewing his contract.

“I have only played as Right and Central Defender until now, but I trust in my abilities. I can play for Persepolis in every post coaches want from me.” He added.

Mehrdad Pooladi started his career with Paykan youth system. In 2006-07 season he promoted to the senior squad.
