Jairo Castillo

Jairo Fernando "El Tigre" (The Tiger) Castillo Cortés (born 17 November 1977) is a retired Colombian footballer.

He returned to America for the 1996 season having gained more experience and won his first title as a professional, the 1996-97 league championship, and finished runner-up in the Copa Libertadores.

In 2000, he joined Vélez Sársfield of Argentina but returned to América de Cali after only one season where he won another Colombian league title in 2002.

[1][2] Ironically, his improved form would only cause more heartbreak; being Godoy Cruz best player, he would yet again have an injury putting a major dent into his career.

In September 2009, after 11 months without playtime, Castillo left Godoy Cruz after his contract with the club expired, and joined Millonarios.

Despite scoring during the match, Castillo missed his penalty, and America later lost the shootout and were relegated for the first time in club history.

Castillo played 23 times for the Colombia national team between 1999 and 2005,[15] he was part of the squad that won their first and only Copa América title in 2001.

[16][17][18] In November 2015, the footballer was caught drunk driving for a third time and attempted with failure to evade police in a taxi.
