In 2005 Bieler made his professional debut with Primera División Argentina squad Colón de Santa Fe. The following year he was loaned to Primera B Nacional Argentina squad Atlético Rafaela, where he lead the league with sixteen goals. In 2007, he caught the eye of fellow Argentine Claudio Borghi who signed him to Colo-Colo. Bieler attained the 2007 Clausura championship in Chile with Colo Colo. Following his stay at Colo-Colo, Bieler was transferred to LDU Quito.
At LDU Quito, he built a reputation as a very capable striker. He was an integral part of the squad that won the 2008 Copa Libertadores (where he had a goal wrongfully disallowed for offsides in the final game) and the squad that was the runner-up of the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup. He was the team's top-scorer in 2008 with 17 goals, and was the Ecuadorian Serie A's top-scorer in 2009 with 22 goals. He provided the winning goal in Liga's win in the first leg of the 2009 Recopa Sudamericana and scored one of three goals in the second leg at home. In the 2009 Copa Sudamericana, he was the tournament's top-scorer with eight goals, including two hat-tricks against Argentine team Lanús and Uruguayan team River Plate.
On January 6, 2010 Racing Club de Avellaneda signed the striker to a three-and-a half year contract with 50% of the Bieler sporting rights.[1]
Due to his performance playing for LDU Quito, elements of the Ecuadorian press has suggested that Bieler should play for the Ecuadorian national team. When asked to comment on the remarks, he has publicly stated that he would change nationalities to play for Ecuador.[2][3]
