FREDDY GUARIN PROFILE


BIOGRAPHY AND CAREER
Fredy Guarin born June 30, 1986 in Puerto Boyaca is a Colombian footballer who plays for F.C. Porto in the Portuguese first division.

A versatile player, comfortable in the center or right side of midfield, he represented Colombia at all youth levels.

Already a regular player for Colombian side Envigado F�tbol Club and for the Colombian U20 national team, in 2005, Guar�n was taken on loan by Boca Juniors of Argentina, where he spent the first six months in the youth team, with only two league appearances. Upon completion of his loan, Boca attempted to sign Guar�n on a permanent basis, but he instead chose to go on loan at France's AS Saint-�tienne, in August 2006.

Guar�n made his debuts for ASSE scoring twice, in a friendly against Spain's RCD Espanyol, and gradually fought his way into the starting lineup as the season closed. He made his Ligue 1 debut on October 14, 2006 against Olympique Lyonnais, and scored his first goal in a 3�1 victory against Troyes AC.

On 24 May 2006, Guar�n made his international debut for Colombia in a pre-FIFA World Cup friendly against Ecuador, but did not make the final stages.

On July 10, 2008, Guar�n penned a four-year deal with Portuguese League powerhouse F.C. Porto, for an undisclosed fee. Portuguese under-21 international Paulo Machado went the opposite direction, on loan. During his spell at the club, he was used mainly as a reserve, but managed to appear regularly; his most important goal came on May 16, 2010, as Porto renewed its Portuguese Cup title, defeating lowly G.D. Chaves 2�1.

In 2010�11, even after the departure of Raul Meireles to Liverpool, Guar�n struggled to make Porto's starting XI. He was, however, a very important midfield element for the eventual national champions, playing in more than 40 official games and scoring five goals, including two in the UEFA Europa League campaign
