Club career
Tressor Moreno began his career in the youth ranks of Colombia's Tuluá. In 1999, he emigrated to Peru and made his professional debut with Peruvian power Alianza Lima. While with Lima he appeared in 40 league matches and scored 16 goals, forming a formidable front line with Claudio Pizarro. During his time with Alianza Moreno was regarded as one of the best foreign players to have played in Peru. The following season he returned to Colombia with Atlético Nacional and had another productive season appearing in 34 league matches and scoring 11 times while helping Nacional to win the 2000 Copa Merconorte. As a result of his play with Nacional, Moreno began to draw interest from European clubs and in 2000 was sold to FC Metz in France.
In 2002, Moreno returned to Colombia as Metz loaned him to América de Cali. While with America, Tressor helped his club to the 2002 Apertura *le. For the 2002 Finalización season Moreno was loaned to Independiente Medellín and helped his new club capture the Finalización *le.

Once his contract with Metz ended he returned to Colombia and played for Deportivo Cali and Once Caldas for the next few seasons.
In 2005, he would embark on a very productive career in Mexico joining Club Necaxa. He was one of Necaxa's star players during the 05/06 season appearing in 29 matches and scoring 5 goals.

While with San Luis, Moreno appeared in 89 league matches and scored 16 goals, including a brace against Tecos in the 2007 Apertura. In January 2010 Chacarita Juniors was close to signing the Colombian attacking midfielder on loan from San Luis, but the move finally did not materialize and Moreno joined Independiente Medellín for the 2010 league season, 2010 Copa Colombia, and 2010 Copa Libertadores.
