Luis Carlos Ruiz Morales (born 8 January 1987) is a Colombian former professional footballer who plays as a striker.

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.
