Club career

After a great season and scoring 10 goals in the Colombian league, he had many offers from big clubs in Colombia as well as the Swiss club Basel. Renteria chose Atlético Nacional because performing well there would get him future call ups to the National team, and better offers abroad. In 2009 was loaned back to Atlético Huila after an accident killed two Huila players.
