Career
Born in Linares, Chile, Tapia is a product of the Universidad de Chile youth system.[1] After having no chances to play for them at league level, he joined Santiago Wanderers in the Chilean Segunda División in 1993.[2] [3] [4]
In the second level, he also played for Deportes Ovalle,[1] Audax Italiano,[5] Unión Santa Cruz[6] and Magallanes.[7]
In the Chilean Primera División, he played for Unión Española,[8] [9] [10] [11] Deportes Concepción,[12] Provincial Osorno[13] and Rangers de Talca.[14] [15] As a member of Deportes Concepción, he took part in the 1999 Copa CONMEBOL, the last edition.[16]
Abroad, he had a stint with Mexican club Cruz Azul Hidalgo in 1998 alongside Cristián Montecinos, his teammate in Deportes Concepción.[17] He ended his career playing for the American club New Jersey Stallions in the USL Pro Select League (2003) and the USL PDL (2004).[18] [19] [20] In the club, he coincided with his former teammate in Unión Española, Marcelo Fracchia.[21]
Personal life
Tapia is nicknamed Colorado (Red-colored) due to his hair color.[1] [11]
He has worked as a public relations representative of pubs, being known by the nickname Zafrada, a distortion of "frazada" (blanket),[22] [23] like a well-known red-haired person in his homeland for surviving the 2010 Chile earthquake and tsunami.[24]
