Edwin Armando Valencia Rodríguez (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈeðwim baˈlensja]; born 29 March 1985) is a Colombian footballer who plays for Brazilian club Santos and the Colombia national team as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Florida, Valle del Cauca, Valencia joined América de Cali's youth setup in 1996, aged 11. He was promoted to the main squad in January 2004, appearing in 14 matches and scoring three goals in the campaign.

In 2007, after having his wage cut by half and thus forcing a release from América, Valencia moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Atlético Paranense on a free transfer, along with fellow countryman and teammate Julián Viáfara.[1] He made his Série A debut on 24 June 2007, starting in a 2–0 away win against Palmeiras.[2]

On 12 April 2008 Valencia scored his first goal for Furacão, netting the game's winner in a home success against Toledo Colônia Work for the Campeonato Paranaense championship.[3] He was an undisputed starter for the club, which his side narrowly avoiding relegation in the following seasons.

On 15 June 2010 Valencia moved to fellow league team Fluminense.[4] He soon profitted from Diogo's injury, being an important midfield unit as the club was crowned champions.

Valencia subsequently struggled with injuries and fell down through the pecking order, appearing rarely in 2012 and 2013. In 2014, despite appearing regularly, his contract was not renewed and he left Flu on 12 December.[5]

On 16 January 2015 Valencia signed a one-year deal with Santos, also in the main level of Brazilian football.[6]

International career

After appearing with Colombia under-20s in 2005, Valencia made his debut with the full squad on 30 May 2006, coming on as a second half substitute for Fabián Vargas in a 2–1 friendly away win against Poland.[7]

On 28 May 2014, after being regularly called up by manager José Pékerman, Valencia suffered an injury which forced him out of 2014 FIFA World Cup.[8] Called up for 2015 Copa América, he started the first three games of the competition, suffering a serious knee injury in the last one and being sidelined for six months.[9]
