During the 2005 season he was also sent on loan to Romanian club Oțelul Galați. After a brief stay in Romania he returned to Colombia signing with Atlético Bucaramanga. His play with Bucaramanga helped him receive interest from Atlético Junior who than signed Valencia for the 2007 season. Since signing, Valencia established himself as a starter for the Barranquilla club. Valencia helped the club in capturing Categoría Primera A championships in 2010 and 2011.
