Darwin Adelso Cerén Delgado (born 31 December 1989) is a Salvadoran professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Primera División club Águila and captains the El Salvador national team.
Club career
Juventud Independiente
Cerén began his professional career with Juventud Independiente in 2009. Prior to joining Juventud, Cerén was attending university when his father lost his job. Unable to afford school, Cerén dropped out and started working at a brick making company. While working there, he attended a tryout for Juventud and earned a contract. Originally he continued to work for the brick company while playing for Juventud, but soon quit to focus fully on a career in football. Along with his brother Óscar, he helped them earn promotion from the second division to the first division, with both brothers scoring in the final. In total, he made 87 appearances for the club and scored 15 goals before departing in February 2014. In the summer of 2013, he went on trial with Balıkesirspor of the Turkish second division, but a deal was never worked out.
Orlando City SC
It was announced on 6 February 2014 that Cerén had signed for Orlando City SC of USL Pro for the 2014 USL Pro season and for 2015 as Orlando entered Major League Soccer, becoming the club's third addition to their MLS roster. Cerén made his Orlando City debut on 22 March in a 1–1 draw with the Charleston Battery. On 16 August he scored his first two goals for the club, picking up a brace in a 3–1 win over the Harrisburg City Islanders. Cerén went on to make 23 league appearances for the club, scoring two goals and assisting on three others during the season. Cerén helped Orlando win the Commissioner's Cup for finishing with the best record during the regular season. Orlando failed to replicate their success in the playoffs, suffering a surprise defeat to the Harrisburg City Islanders in the first round.
Cerén playing for Orlando City in 2014
Cerén made his MLS debut on 8 March 2015 in a 1–1 draw with New York City FC. He scored his first MLS goal in a 4–0 win over the LA Galaxy on 17 May. On August 8, Cerén scored once in a 5–2 win over the Columbus Crew. He enjoyed a strong first season in MLS, ending the year with 2 goals and 2 assists from 26 games, being named Orlando City Players’ Player of the Year, and winning the 2015 MLS Latino del Año award. It was a disappointing season as a team, as OCSC missed out on the playoffs.
Prior to the 2016 season, Cerén signed a new contract with Orlando. The Lions opened the season on 6 March with a 2–2 against Real Salt Lake. However, Cerén was sent off late in the first half for a red card. After his suspension, Cerén returned and started Orlando's next 8 games before missing a month due to an ankle injury. He made 16 appearances and had two assists in league play for Orlando in 2016 prior to being traded.
