Luis Carlos Ruiz Morales (American Spanish: [lwis ˈkaɾloz ˈrwis];[lower-alpha 1] born 8 January 1986) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Categoría Primera A club Atlético Junior on loan from Atlético Nacional.
Career
Ruiz was the joint top goal scorer during the 2013 Torneo Finalización with Dayro Moreno, both scoring 16 goals.
In December 2013, Ruiz claimed he had signed a Four-year contract with Neftchi Baku in the Azerbaijani Premier League, though this claim was denied by Neftchi.[1][2] On 4 January 2014, Ruiz announced that he wouldn't be joining Neftchi after all and that the statement posted had been the result of hackers hacking his Twitter account.[3][4]
In February 2014, Ruiz joined Shanghai Greenland Shenhua in the Chinese Super League. The transfer fee was about €3 million,[5] and he linked up with fellow Colombian Giovanni Moreno. In June 2014, Ruiz returned to Colombia, signing for Atlético Nacional.
