Orlando Enrique Berrío Meléndez (born 14 February 1991) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Paraguayan Primera División club Tacuary. He also represented Colombia national football team in six international appearances.

Club career[edit]

Born in Cartagena, Berrío played for Expreso Rojo and Atlético Nacional as a youth.[2] He made his first team – and Categoría Primera A – debut on 22 February 2009, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Deportes Quindío.

Berrío scored his first professional goal on 8 April 2010, in a 2–0 home win against América de Cali. Three days later, he netted a brace in an away success over Cortuluá, for the same scoreline.

Sparingly used, Berrío was loaned to fellow top tier club Millonarios on 3 January 2012.[3] On 3 August 2012, after failing to score a single goal for the club, he was loaned to Patriotas for one year.[4]

Returning to Nacional, Berrío was regularly utilized by new manager Juan Carlos Osorio.

On 22 October 2017, in a Brazilian Série A match against São Paulo at Pacaembu Stadium, Berrío suffered a knee injury that later was confirmed as an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[8] In the same week, he underwent surgery, causing him to miss the rest of the 2017 season.[9]
