Julio César Moreyra (born 10 August 1981) is an Argentine former professional footballer who played as a centre-back.

Born in Córdoba, Argentina, he began his career with Instituto and later played professionally in Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, in addition to several clubs in Argentina.[1]

Club career

Moreyra began his professional career with Instituto, making his first-team debut in the early 2000s. He became a regular for the Córdoba club and was part of the squad that earned promotion to the Argentine Primera División in 2004. He subsequently made 30 top-flight appearances for Instituto during the 2004–05 season.[1]

Universidad de Chile

In July 2005, Moreyra moved to Chile to join Universidad de Chile on loan. Nicknamed El Indio, he quickly became a regular in the team's defence and a popular figure among supporters.[2] He was one of the team's standout players during the 2005 Clausura, when Universidad de Chile reached the championship final against Universidad Católica.[3]

Moreyra remained with Universidad de Chile for the 2006 Apertura and again reached the championship final, this time against Colo-Colo. He was a regular starter during both campaigns, as Universidad de Chile finished runner-up in consecutive tournaments.[4] Moreyra later recalled that the club's financial difficulties prevented Universidad de Chile from purchasing his registration, bringing his spell in Santiago to an end after approximately one year.[4]

Return to Argentina

After leaving Chile, Moreyra returned to Argentina and joined Quilmes, making 11 Primera División appearances in 2006.[1] He subsequently returned to Instituto before moving on loan to Godoy Cruz in 2007. Moreyra became a regular at the Mendoza club, making 33 league appearances and scoring once during his spell there.[1]

He returned to Instituto for the 2008–09 season before joining Independiente Rivadavia in 2010. Later that year, Moreyra signed for newly promoted Primera B Nacional side Patronato, moving alongside fellow Independiente Rivadavia player Gabriel Roth.[5] He was used as a starting centre-back during Patronato's preparations for the season.[6]

Late career

In 2011, Moreyra moved to Peru to play for Universidad de San Martín. He made 18 league appearances and also represented the club in the 2011 Copa Libertadores.[1][7]

Moreyra returned to Argentina in 2012 with Nueva Chicago, making 19 appearances in the Primera B Nacional.[1] In 2013, he moved to Bolivia to join Blooming, where he made 14 league appearances before returning to Instituto in 2014.[1]

In 2015, Moreyra continued his career abroad with Ecuadorian club Olmedo before returning to Córdoba to represent Estudiantes de Río Cuarto.[1] He returned to Chile in 2016, joining Santiago Morning in the Primera B. Moreyra made nine league appearances for the club.[7]

During the final years of his career, Moreyra returned to football in Córdoba, representing Deportivo Colón and later General Paz Juniors.[1] He continued playing into 2020, by which time he had returned to General Paz Juniors.[2]
