Alfredo Morelos (born 21 June 1996) is a Colombian football player currently playing for HJK.
After starting his career at Independiente Medellín, Morelos made his way through the youth team and progressed to the first team. Despite being young, Morelos, nevertheless, earned a nickname of 'Goleador', due to his scoring form.
Morelos began his career at Independiente Medellín when he first joined in 2011 and was soon promoted to the first team by then Manager Hernán Darío Gómez, where he made his Independiente Medellín debut, in a 3–0 win over Rionegro Águilas in the Categoría Primera A on 1 September 2014. It came three days on 28 August 2014 before when he scored, in a 1–1 draw against Envigado. Five days later on 6 September 2014, Morelos scored his first Independiente Medellín goal, in a 3–2 win over Fortaleza. He went on to finish the 2014 season, making fourteen appearances and scoring six times in all competitions, where he scored four more goals in the Cup against Leones,Jaguares de Córdoba (twice) and Envigado.
After making eleven appearances in all competitions in the 2015 season, it was reported from a Colombian media that Morelos was linked with a move to a European side, which turned out to be HJK and then on 5 February 2016, HJK announced the signing of Morelos on loan, with an option of buying the striker on a permanent basis.
Morelos made an immediate impact on his debut four days later in the League Cup, coming as a substitute in the Stadin derby against HIFK and scored the equalizing goal at the 90th minute to make the game 3-3. A week later on 18 February 2016, Morelos scored a brace in the League Cup once again, in a 2–2 draw against Inter Turku. Morelos also made an impact in the league and started the season well when he scored four goals in the first six matches against VPS,RoPS, SJK and AC Kajaani (twice). After scoring against HIFK, Morelos scored his first hat–trick of his HJK career in the Suomen Cup, in a 4–1 win over KuPS on 15 June 2016, followed up scoring in a 3–1 win over SJK three days later. Five days later, on 23 June 2016, he scored in the semi–final of the Soumi Cup, in a 3–0 win over Lahti to send them through to the final.
