Déiver Machado

Early career

Machado was born in Tadó, in the Chocó Department of Colombia, on 2 September 1993. He came through the academy of Atlético Nacional in Medellín, making his professional debut for the club in 2013 and making 2 appearances in that season's Categoría Primera A, the same year he won both the Apertura and Clausura league titles and a national cup with the side. In 2014, he was loaned to Alianza Petrolera — listed in club records as Alianza FC — where he made 28 appearances in the Categoría Primera A without scoring, before returning to Atlético Nacional and subsequently joining Millonarios.

Millonarios

Machado signed for Millonarios of Bogotá on 31 December 2014. He established himself as first-choice left-back across three seasons in the Liga Águila, making 32 appearances in 2015, 29 in 2016 and a further 26 before his departure in 2017. He scored his first competitive goal for Millonarios on 20 March 2017 against Independiente Santa Fe at El Campín, netting the third in a 3–0 league victory — his goal completing a scoreline opened by Andrés Cadavid and Ayron del Valle. He scored a second league goal for the club later in the 2017 Apertura season before Millonarios went on to win the 2017 Torneo Finalización, their fifteenth national title, defeating crosstown rivals Independiente Santa Fe in an all-Bogotá final. He left the club in July 2017 to join K.A.A. Gent in Belgium.
