'Great club'
The 23-year-old joined Porto from Brazil's SC Internacional in January 2007 and made six league appearances before being loaned to RC Strasbourg last season. Despite nine goals in 28 matches he was unable to prevent them losing their Ligue 1 status. Rentería, capped 14 times by Colombia, said: "Braga are a great club and I am here to help my team-mates finish high in the Liga." His new team, who reached the UEFA Cup Round of 32 last season, beat NK Zrinjski 1-0 on Thursday in the home first leg of their second qualifying round tie.
