Career edit
Vélez Sarfield, Mexico and Arsenal edit
He started playing at Vélez Sársfield youth divisions, and debuted professionally on 22 February 2002. He played very briefly for the Mexican League System Segunda División de México Querétaro F.C. in the first quarter of 2004, but after that returned to Vélez Sársfield. He was part of the team that won the Torneo Clausura 2005 but he hardly ever played due to being overshadowed by Fabricio Fuentes, Maximiliano Pellegrino and Hernán Pellerano.
During the 2007–08 season, after Pellegrino's departure, Uglessich was a regular starter in Vélez. On 3 February 2009, the central defender left Velez Sarsfield by mutual consent with the club. Arsenal de Sarandí signed the former Velez Sarsfield.[1]
