Alejandro Moreno (born July 8, 1979 in Barquisimeto) is a Venezuelan footballer who currently plays for Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer.
[edit] Career[edit] CollegeMoreno moved to Texas, United States from his native Venezuela as a youth and played four years of college soccer at UNC Greensboro. He finished his career their fourth on the team's all-time scoring lists, with 65 goals and 25 assists, and having been named first team NSCAA All-South all four years with the team. [edit] ProfessionalAfter completing his career at Greensboro, Moreno was drafted 27th overall in the 2002 MLS SuperDraft by the Los Angeles Galaxy. Moreno played sparingly in his rookie season, but developed into an excellent sparkplug coming off the bench in his second season, when he registered six goals and two assists in just 1,117 minutes. Although Moreno exhibited a good deal of promise in 2003, he was not able to earn a consistent starting role with the Galaxy because of a logjam at the forward position, which included Guatemalan star Carlos Ruiz and former US international Jovan Kirovski, as well as recent acquisition Joseph Ngwenya. In 2004, Moreno again registered six goals and two assists, this time in 1,297 minutes. He was traded to the San Jose Earthquakes in the off-season in a four-player deal. In his lone season with the Quakes, Moreno scored eight goals and four assists. Along with the rest of his Earthquakes teammates, he moved to Houston for the 2006 season. He was traded to the Columbus Crew on May 10, 2007 for Joseph Ngwenya. Alejandro Moreno scored the first goal in the 2008 MLS Cup for Columbus, who eventually won the game 3-1 against New York Red Bulls. Moreno was selected by Philadelphia Union in the 2009 MLS Expansion Draft on 25 November, 2009.[1] [edit] InternationalMoreno's performances in MLS have seen him receive call-ups for the Venezuelan national team; he made his first appearance on February 18, 2005 against Australia. Due to his rich vein of form during the 2008 Major League Soccer season, Moreno was again called up to the Venezuelan team for some 2010 World Cup Qualifiers, scoring against Ecuador on October 15, 2008, in a 3-1 win.
