Moreno played the last part of his youth career in Newell's Old Boys' system, signing on 20 January 2013 from Academia Duchini following stints with Barrio Nuevo and Villa Dolores.[1][4][5] After progressing through their academy, Moreno made his bow in professional football on 25 February 2019 as the club faced San Martín at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa; he was substituted on in place of Maxi Rodríguez during a 3–0 win.[3][6]

International career

Moreno was selected by the Argentina U20s in 2018 to train against the seniors at the FIFA World Cup in Russia.[1] Later that year, he played for the U20s at the L'Alcúdia Tournament in Spain; winning five caps.[7][8][9] In 2019, Moreno received a call-up to represent Argentina at that year's South American U-20 Championship in Chile.[3][10] He won eight caps and netted one goal, against Uruguay, as they placed second in the final stage; missing out to Ecuador.[3][11] Fernando Batista called Moreno up for the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland.[12] In the following months, Moreno was picked for the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru with the U23s.[13]

Moreno featured in four of Argentina's five games at the Pan American Games, as they won the tournament after beating Honduras in the final.[3]
