Óscar Fabián Murillo Murillo (born 18 April 1988) is a Colombian former professional footballer who played as a centre-back.

Club career

Murillo began his career in the youth system of famed Argentinian side Boca Juniors.[2] In 2007, he returned to Colombia to play for second division side Centauros Villavicencio.

His loan was terminated in July 2010 without Murillo making a single league appearance. On 20 February 2012, he played for Atlético Nacional and scored twice in their win against Millonarios FC.
