Born in Albacete, Castilla–La Mancha, Moreno joined Albacete Balompié's youth sides in 2015, aged 11. In May 2020, he moved to Villarreal CF on a three-year contract, being initially assigned to the Juvenil B squad.[1]

After playing for affiliate side CD Roda's Juvenil side, Moreno made his senior debut with the Yellow Submarine's C-team on 18 February 2023, coming on as a late substitute for Marcos Sánchez in a 1–0 Tercera Federación away loss to CF Gandía.[2] On 13 July, however, he returned to Alba and was initially assigned to the reserves also in division five.[3][4]

Moreno scored his first senior goal on 24 September 2023, netting Atlético Albacete's opener in a 1–1 draw at CP Villarrobledo. He finished the season with 19 goals for the B's, scoring braces against UB Conquense, CD Villacañas and CD Torrijos.[5]

Moreno made his first team debut with Albacete on 21 October 2024, replacing Juanma late into a 2–0 home win over Burgos CF.[6][7]
