Club career
Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Moreno appeared seven times for his local club CA Osasuna in the 2005–06 season, as they tied a best-ever fourth place in La Liga (no games complete, two starts).[1] He made his debut in the competition on 18 September 2005, playing 22 minutes in a 1–0 home win against Sevilla FC.[2]
After two Segunda División loans, at CD Numancia[3][4] and Albacete Balompié,[5] Moreno was released in 2008, resuming his career in the Segunda División B, first with lowly CD Linares. He only returned to the second tier in 2014–15, contributing 19 appearances as CD Leganés[6] retained their league status and being released at the end of the campaign.[7]
Moreno continued to compete in the lower leagues until his retirement, representing a host of teams[8][9][10] before his retirement in July 2022 aged 38.[11]
