Once Caldas

Moreno won the 2004 Copa Libertadores with Once Caldas after beating Boca Juniors in the finals. That same year he played the 2004 Intercontinental Cup final with Once Caldas, who lost the game after a penalty shoot-out against UEFA Champions League winners FC Porto.

In the summer of 2007 there were rumors and subsequent offers for Moreno to play in the Croatian league. Argentine club Boca Juniors also had interest in him.[1] However, after the Croatians demanded too much, the deal was cancelled and he stayed with Caldas.

In May 2006, Moreno was loaned out to Brazilian club Athletico Paranaense. However, he only played 2 games and scored one goal on his debut against Figueirense after coming on as a sub.

In January 2008, after an outstanding season with Once Caldas where he finished as top scorer in the 2007 Finalizacion, Romanian club Steaua București signed him for a club record US$2 million on a four-year contract.[2] With his arrival at the club, he joined fellow Colombians Róbinson Zapata, Pepe Moreno, and Juan Toja, who were also playing for the club at the time.

He made his debut for the club in a 2–1 loss against Politehnica Iași on 24 February. His first goal in Romania came a week later in a 3–1 victory against CFR Cluj.[3]

As a result, he was fined €15,000 for indiscipline.[6] The player also said he was not going to return to the club and demanded a transfer. However, Moreno eventually rejoined the club, but was demoted to the B squad for the beginning of the 2009–10 season for indiscipline.[7] He agreed to play for the second team with a 85% salary reduction until he was prepared to come back to the first squad.[8][9][10]

In October 2009, following a series of good performances for the B team, he was called back to the first team by new Steaua manager Mihai Stoichiță.[11]

Millonarios FC (loan)
