Moreno began his career with Atlético Nacional before joining Premier League side Manchester City for £4.75 million in 2016. During a six-year spell with City he failed to make a first team appearance and was never selected for a matchday squad, instead spending his tenure in with the Blues on loan at Deportivo La Coruña, Girona, Flamengo, Santos Laguna, Portimonense, Lommel and Kortrijk.

He has been capped eight times by Colombia but has not been selected for a national squad since 2016.

Born in Medellín, Moreno joined Atlético Nacional's youth setup in 2010, aged 14.[2] On 23 July 2014, he made his first team debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Rodin Quiñónes in a 3–1 Copa Colombia away win against Rionegro Águilas.

Moreno made his Categoría Primera A debut on 15 October 2014, starting in a 2–1 loss at Deportivo Pasto.[3] He scored his first professional goal on 10 September of the following year, netting the second in a 3–0 home win against Deportivo Cali.

On 17 October 2015, Moreno scored a brace in a 4–0 away routing of Atlético Junior.[4] He also started in the season's final against the same team, scoring from 30 seconds and helping his team to win its first title of the year; it was also the fastest goal of the club's history.[5]

On 6 August 2016, Moreno signed for Manchester City for £4.75 million and was immediately loaned out to Deportivo de La Coruña, in a season-long deal.[6][7]

Moreno made his debut for Deportivo on 11 September, in a 1–0 loss to Athletic Bilbao.[8]

Moreno was loaned to La Liga side Girona FC for the first half of the 2017–18 season.[9] On 12 January 2018, Moreno was loaned out to Brazilian Série A club Flamengo until 31 December 2018.[10][11]

On 25 January 2019, Moreno was loaned to Mexican side Santos Laguna.[12] On 31 July 2019, Moreno was loaned to Portuguese Primeira Liga club Portimonense on a one-year deal.[13]

Moreno was loaned to Lommel, another club owned by the City Football Group, for the 2020–21 season.[14] Moreno was loaned to Belgian side Kortrijk for the 2021–22 season.

After spending six years at Manchester City without making an appearance, Moreno signed a two-year contract with fellow City Football Group club Troyes on 1 September 2022.[15]

On 3 March 2023, Moreno joined Konyaspor on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season.[16] He signed a permanent 2+1 year contract on 1 August.[17]

On 4 September 2024, free agent Moreno returned to Spain after joining CD Tenerife in Segunda División on a two-year deal.[18]

International career

edit

After representing Colombia at under-17 level, Moreno was called up to the main squad on 11 February 2016.[19] He made his full international debut on 24 March, coming on as 85th-minute substitute for Juan Cuadrado and setting up Edwin Cardona's last-minute winner.[20] On 11 June 2016, Moreno scored his first international goal against Costa Rica in the Copa America Centenario.
