Daniel Felipe Ruiz Rivera (born 30 July 2001) is a Colombian footballer who plays as winger for Millonarios and the Colombia national team.
Club career
Fortaleza CEIF
Born in Bogotá, Ruiz began his career with a local side named CD Dinhos, before joining Deportivo Cali's youth setup in 2016. After two years playing for the latter, he left and moved to Fortaleza CEIF.[1]
Ruiz made his senior debut with Fortaleza on 7 October 2018, playing the last four minutes in a 1–1 Categoría Primera B away draw against Deportes Quindío; it was his only appearance of the season. He subsequently started to feature more regularly for the side, becoming a starter in the later stages of the 2020 season and scoring his first goal on 14 November of that year, in a 1–1 draw at Llaneros.[2]
Millonarios
On 30 December 2020, Ruiz moved to Categoría Primera A side Millonarios on a one-year loan deal, with a buyout clause.[3] He made his club – and top tier – debut on 16 January 2021, replacing Emerson Rodríguez in a 1–0 home win over Envigado.[4]
Ruiz scored his first goal in the main category on 20 June 2021, netting the opener in a 2–1 home loss against Deportes Tolima. On 12 September, he scored a brace in a 4–3 win at Atlético Bucaramanga.[5]
In January 2022, Millonarios bought Ruiz outright, for a rumoured fee of US$ 350,000; Fortaleza also kept 20% over a future sale.[6]
Loan to Santos
On 7 February 2023, Ruiz moved abroad for the first time in his career, after agreeing to a loan deal with Brazilian club Santos until the end of the year.[7] He made his debut with the club nine days later, replacing Sandry in a 1–1 Campeonato Paulista away draw against Santo André.[8]
After featuring rarely, Ruiz was separated from the first team squad by new head coach Paulo Turra on 4 July 2023.[9] On 4 August, his loan was terminated.[10]
International career
After representing Colombia at under-20 level in a friendly in 2021, Ruiz received his first call-up for the full side on 18 January 2023, for a friendly against the United States.[11][12] He made his full international debut ten days later, replacing Dylan Borrero in the 0–0 draw at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.[13]
