Club career
Colombia
Born in Cali, Mojica began his career with Academia FC, making his first team debut on 25 June 2011, against Expreso Rojo.[1]
He retained a starting spot before moving to Llaneros FC. In January 2013, Mojica signed with Deportivo Cali.[2] On 30 March, he made his CategorÃa Primera A debut, against ItagüÃ.[3]
Rayo Vallecano
On 5 July 2013 Mojica moved to Spain, signing a one-year loan contract with Rayo Vallecano.[4] He made his official – and La Liga – debut on 15 September, coming on as a 69th minute substitute for Sebastián Fernández in a 5-0 away loss against Málaga.
Mojica featured in 12 matches during the campaign, as the Madrid side achieved a comfortable mid-table finish. On 28 July 2014 he signed a permanent four-year deal with Rayo, and was immediately loaned to Real Valladolid.[5]
Mojica was also converted to a left winger during the process,[6] and also scored a brace in a 7–0 home routing over FC Barcelona B on 21 December 2014. On 6 August 2015 his loan was extended for another year.[7]
