A move Yhormar Hurtado would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Yhormar Hurtado is living that version at Deportes Tolima, and it tends to show in the first month.

Guillermo Celis signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Guillermo Celis and Deportes Tolima agree another 2 years.

Yhormar Hurtado comes home
The shirt still fits. Yhormar Hurtado is back at Deportes Tolima, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
The game went through Cristian Trujillo — 6.69
Marked 6.69 on 14 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

A row about effort at Deportes Tolima
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jorge Cabezas Hurtado was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

One of their own: Kelvin Flórez
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

One of our own: Cristian Diaz joins the Deportes Tolima first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Cristian Diaz is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Carlos Arias steps up from the Deportes Tolima academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Carlos Arias has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Daniel Duque joins the Deportes Tolima first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Daniel Duque is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
