Simón Moreno Barroso (born 2 July 1997) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Segunda Federación club Minera.
Club career Villarreal Born in Cartaya, Province of Huelva, Andalusia, Moreno joined Villarreal CF's academy at the age of 9. He made his senior debut with the C team on 22 August 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Mario González in a 1–1 Tercera División away draw against UD Alzira.
Moreno scored his first senior goal on 22 November 2015, opening the 2–2 home draw with FC Jove Español San Vicente. He was promoted to the reserves in the Segunda División B in July 2017, and was their top scorer in the 2018–19 season with 13 goals.
On 27 June 2019, Moreno was loaned to UD Almería for one year. On 3 September, however, the move was terminated after the club suffered a change of ownership; he subsequently joined fellow Segunda División club Málaga CF also on a temporary basis, but the deal eventually fell through and he returned to Villarreal B.

Moreno made his professional debut on 13 September 2020, starting in a 0–0 draw at Real Oviedo.
Mirandés In February 2021, Moreno was loaned to second-tier CD Mirandés until 30 June. He scored his first goal in the league on 13 March, his team's second in a 2–2 home draw against eventual champions RCD Espanyol.
Moreno signed a permanent contract on 5 July 2021. He missed most of 2021–22 and the entire following season, due to another serious knee injury.
