Pol Freixanet Viejo (born 22 August 1991), simply known as Pol, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Elche CF as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Manresa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Pol graduated with RCD Espanyol's youth setup. In the 2010 summer he moved to Málaga CF, being initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[1]

On 25 January 2012 Pol renewed with the Andalusians, signing until 2014.[2] On 14 July of the following year he was loaned to Segunda División B side Real Oviedo,[3] appearing regularly.

On 9 July 2014 Pol moved to another reserve team, Elche CF Ilicitano in the third level.[4] On 23 May 2015 he made his first team – and La Liga – debut for the latter, coming on as a late substitute for injured Przemysław Tytoń in a 0–0 away draw against Levante UD.[5]

Pol was definitely promoted to the main squad in August 2015, mainly due to squad shortage.
