Orlando Enrique Berrío Meléndez (born 14 February 1991) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Colombian club Atlético Nacional.

Club career

Born in Cartagena, Berrío played for Expreso Rojo and Atlético Nacional as a youth.[1] 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.[2] On 3 August 2012, after failing to score a single goal for the club, he was loaned to Patriotas for one year.[3]

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

International career

In August 2016, Berrío was named in Colombia's squad for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Brazil.[4] He did not play in either match, and only made his full international debut on 6 October, coming on as a substitute for Juan Cuadrado in a 1–0 away win against Paraguay.
