Ronald Lorgio Suárez Saucedo (born 5 December 1990 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra) commonly known as Lorgio Suarez, is a Bolivian professional footballer who currently plays in the Liga de Futbol Profesional Boliviano for Blooming. He is a centre back. He has also appeared for and captained the Bolivian national U-15, U-17 and U-20 teams.
Suárez began his career at Ramón Tahuichi Aguilera's football academy. In February 2008, while playing in an international tournament with Tahuichi, he was spotted by talent scouts who recruited him for Universidad de Chile,[1] [2] where he spent 10 months training in the youth team. The following year, after the 2009 South American U-20 Championship, he returned to Bolivia and signed for his hometown club Oriente Petrolero. He showed good form, and was included in the starting line-up by coach Gustavo Quinteros, winning a league title the following season, which enabled him to play in the Copa Sudamericana. In December 2010, after Quinteros had departed to coach the national team, he resigned his contract and joined Blooming, arriving alongside goalkeeper Sergio Galarza.[3]
Suárez earned caps for Bolivia in the U-15, U-17 and served as captain in the U-20 level. However, he has not yet appeared for the Bolivia national team.
