Julian Moreno

Career
Julian gained his professional contract at Celta Vigo in the 30/31 season after moving to Spain as a youngster after being scouted. His first season only saw him get 10 games on the pitch, but he still provided an impressive 4 assists, mostly from the bench. The next season saw him be a huge part in the first team for the La Liga side. He played 31 games, scored two and assisted 3, help the team to a strong mid table finish. This season also saw him make his International debut at the young age of 19. At the end of the season, an offer from Europa League Champions Gateshead FC came in. Eventually £17,500,000 was the agreed price, and Julian moved to the North East of England for the 32/33 season. Gateshead's plan this year was to challenge for the title, this proved to be successful as they just beat Tottenham to the league (by 1 point) on the last game of the season with a win over Everton. Moreno played 33 games that year, scoring 1 and assisting 2 from deep in midfield. Ireland had announced he would be retiring at the end of the 33/34 season, so they were after winning the Champions League. They aced the group staged and beat teams like Real Madrid, Benfica and Fiorentina on the way to the final. Moreno played in all of these games, providing solidarity to the midfield, eventually reaching the final against FC Porto. After winning the FA Cup the week before, Gateshead were feeling very strong to come out on top. Moreno played the full 90 minutes in the final, although not having the best game, he still helped the side keep a clean sheet against Porto and their new signing from Gateshead, David Glembotzki. In his playing future, he looks to continue his success with Gateshead and also challenge for trophies with Colombia.
