Club career
[edit]Villarreal
[edit]Born in Cartaya, Province of Huelva, Andalusia, Moreno joined Villarreal CF's academy at the age of 9.[2] He made his senior debut with the C team on 22 August 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Mario González in a 1–1 Tercera División away draw against UD Alzira.[3]
Moreno scored his first senior goal on 22 November 2015, opening the 2–2 home draw with FC Jove Español San Vicente.[4] He was promoted to the reserves in the Segunda División B in July 2017, and was their top scorer in the 2018–19 season with 13 goals.[5]
On 27 June 2019, Moreno was loaned to UD Almería for one year.[6] On 3 September, however, the move was terminated after the club suffered a change of ownership; he subsequently joined fellow Segunda División club Málaga CF also on a temporary basis,[7] but the deal eventually fell through and he returned to Villarreal B.[8]
In November 2019, Moreno suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, being sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.[9] The following 12 August, he joined second-division newcomers FC Cartagena on a one-year loan.[10]
Moreno made his professional debut on 13 September 2020, starting in a 0–0 draw at Real Oviedo.[11][12]
Mirandés
[edit]In February 2021, Moreno was loaned to second-tier CD Mirandés until 30 June.[13] He scored his first goal in the league on 13 March, his team's second in a 2–2 home draw against eventual champions RCD Espanyol.[14]
Moreno signed a permanent contract on 5 July 2021.[15] He missed most of 2021–22 and the entire following season, due to another serious knee injury.[16][17]
Personal life
[edit]Moreno's elder brother José Luis was also a footballer and a forward. He also played youth football at Villarreal.[2]
