Club career

Once Caldas

Dayro Moreno won the Copa Libertadores 2004 with Once Caldas after beating Boca Juniors in the final. That same year he played the Intercontinental Cup final with Once Caldas, who lost the game after a penalty shoot-out against UEFA Champions League winners FC Porto.

In the summer of 2007 there were rumors and subsequent offers for Dayro to play in the Croatian league. But after hearing Boca Juniors had interest in him, and demanding too much from the Croatians, the deal was cancelled and in 2007 he resumed play for Caldas.

In January 2008, after an outstanding season with Once Caldas, and a good performance against Argentina in the 2010 World Cup South American Qualifiers where he scored the game-winning goal (2–1), he joined Romanian team Steaua București, playing alongside Colombians Róbinson Zapata and Pepe Moreno, who were part of the team at the time.

Steaua paid a fee of US$2 million for him.

In 2009–10, Dayro was demoted to the B squad. He agreed to play for the second team until he was prepared to come back to the first squad.

In October 2009, following a series of good games for the B squad he was called back to the first team by the new Steaua manager, Stoichiță.

Once Caldas

Atletico Nacional (loan)

In 2017, he signed with Atlético Nacional on loan. On October 14 he had a fight inside the pitch with a teammate, arguing over who should take a free kick. He was fired from the team on October 16, 2018 due to reiterated disciplinary behavior.
