27 years old, the attacker had a memorable time at Vitória Guimarães in Portugal, which earned him his first call-up to the Colombian national team in 2022 for a friendly against Saudi Arabia. He also attracted the interest of Hull City, from the second division of English football, who signed him for three years.

In his first year with the Tigers he scored 13 goals in 35 games, but in the second season he was not in the coach’s plans and he went to France.
