Héctor Alfredo Moreno Herrera (born 17 January 1988) is a Mexican professional footballer, who plays for Spanish club Espanyol and the Mexico national team as a central defender.

Club career

UNAM

Héctor Moreno joined UNAM's youth system in 2003 at the age of 15, and made his way into the first team after winning the FIFA U-17 World Championship with Mexico in 2005.

He made his professional debut during the Clausura 2006 tournament, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute, replacing Gerardo Galindo in the 1–0 victory over Santos Laguna on 22 January. He played his first full 90-minutes on 12 February in a 2–0 win over Veracruz, and scored his first goal the following week in a 1–3 defeat to Cruz Azul. Moreno would end the Clausura making six appearances in total. He would eventually secure his position as a regular starter.

For the Apertura 2007 Moreno would play in his first, and only, league final with UNAM, losing to Atlante by a 2–1 aggregate score.

AZ Alkmaar

On 13 December 2007, it was announced that Moreno was transferred to Dutch club AZ Alkmaar in a US$4.5 million deal. He made his Eredivisie debut on 1 March 2008 in a 1–1 draw against Roda JC Kerkrade, playing all 90-minutes. In April 2009 Moreno won his first Eredivisie title with AZ. On 22 April, it was reported that Moreno had signed a contract extension with AZ Alkmaar, which would tie him with the club until 2014.

On 25 July, AZ won the Dutch Super Cup, defeating SC Heerenveen 5–1 in the Final. Moreno made his debut in the Champions League on 16 September in a 0–1 defeat to Olympiacos. On 7 February 2010, Moreno gave Alkmaar a 2–1 victory over Feyenoord by scoring a header from a corner-kick in 87th-minute. Moreno scored his third goal of the season in a 6–2 victory over RKC Waalwijk on 13 March 2010. He would score his fourth goal in a 3–0 victory over Willem II Tilburg on 18 April.

Espanyol

On 22 June 2011, it was announced that Moreno would transfer to Spanish club RCD Espanyol on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee. On 28 August, Moreno made his debut in La Liga against Mallorca. On 26 September, he scored his first goal in a 1–3 loss to Levante UD. On 3 December, he would score his second league goal in a 1–2 loss to Valencia. Moreno scored his third goal of the season in a 3–1 home win against Racing Santander.

On 4 October 2012, Moreno was named Espanyol's "Player of the Year" of the 2011–12 season, his debut season, playing 35 league games, a total of 3295 minutes played, and scoring three goals with one assist.

International career

Mexico U-17

Moreno was called up to participate at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru. Mexico would go on to win the tournament, beating Brazil in the final 3–0.

Mexico U-20

During the first game of the Mexico national team against Gambia at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, he played as a defensive midfielder and scored the second goal for the Mexico team during the second half. Mexico won the match 3–0, with other goals respectively by Giovani Dos Santos and Javier Hernández. Mexico would win their group, but would be eliminated in the quarter-finals.

Mexico national team

Moreno has been called up on various occasions to the Mexico national team. Moreno made his 2010 FIFA World Cup debut in the Group A match against France, in which Mexico won 2–0. Moreno would also start against Uruguay.

Moreno was part of the national team that won the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, playing in all of Mexico's games, as well as the Final against the United States, which Mexico won 4–2.

On 12 June 2012, Moreno scored his first goal with Mexico in a 2–1 over El Salvador in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification match.

Miguel Herrera selected Moreno in the final 23-player squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. On 29 June 2014, in the round-of-16 match against The Netherlands, Moreno suffered a fractured tibia after a collision with Dutch striker Arjen Robben inside his own penalty area. Moreno was stretched off the field a few minutes before halftime and was substituted by Diego Reyes. It was later reported that Moreno was expected to miss up to four to six months of action.
