Andres Salazar

Andres Salazar of Riga FC was born in Guarne, Colombia on 15 January 2003 (age 23).

Andres Salazar, born 15 January 2003 (age 23), is a Colombian left-back currently with Riga FC. His market value is around £510,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His senior career is a slim one so far, but Hearts provide its clearest marker. Salazar made one league appearance across a single season with the Edinburgh club, which remains the main fixed point in an otherwise limited public record.

Riga FC bookends the profile as his current club, with Salazar still at an age where a career can move in several directions. For now, it is a modest record: a Colombian full-back whose brief Hearts spell carries most of the weight.
