Born in Puerto la Cruz from a Nicaraguan father and an Italian-Venezuelan mother,[1] Moreno graduated with Deportivo Anzoátegui's youth setup. He played his first match as a professional on 21 October 2012, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win against Deportivo Petare for the Primera División championship.[2]

Moreno scored his first goal on 28 April 2013, netting his side's last in a 3–2 home success over Mineros de Guayana.[3] Despite being only a backup in 2012–13, he was an undisputed starter in 2013–14, appearing in 29 matches and scoring nine goals.

On 17 June 2014 Moreno was loaned to Cyprus First Division's AEL Limassol, in a season-long deal.[4] He made no appearances for the side, and eventually returned to DANZ in December.[citation needed]

On 27 January 2015 Moreno signed a three-year deal with Málaga CF, being assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[5] On 13 February he was loaned to Segunda División B's CD El Palo, until June.[6]

On 24 August 2018, after loans at Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa and Lorca FC, Moreno signed a permanent contract with Internacional de Madrid in the third division.[7]

On 2 January 2023, Moreno joined Veikkausliiga club SJK ahead of the 2023 season.[8] On 24 August 2023, Moreno extended his contract with SJK, signing a new two-year deal until the end of 2025.[9][10] Moreno was named the Veikkausliiga Player of the Month in June 2024. In the 2024 season, Moreno scored 12 goals and was the joint top scorer in Veikkausliiga with Ashley Coffey.
