Club career

Moreno was born in Bajo Baudó, Chocó Department, but moved to Bogotá at early age. He started his career with América de Cali, graduating from the club's youth setup and making his debut with the first-team during the 2010 season.

In 2011, Moreno moved to fellow Categoría Primera A side Independiente Santa Fe, but only featured rarely for the club during his spell at the club. On 30 July 2013, he joined Atlético Huila still in the top tier.[1] He immediately became a regular starter, and scored his first professional goal on 19 August in a 2–1 loss at Patriotas Boyacá.[2]

On 30 December 2014, Moreno agreed to a contract with Independiente Medellín.[3] An immediate first-choice, he won the 2016 Torneo Apertura with the club.

On 16 August 2018, Moreno moved abroad for the first time in his career, after signing a one-year loan deal with Spanish Segunda División club Deportivo de La Coruña.[4]
