Rio de Janeiro, Jan 3 (IANS): Colombia's Junior de Barranquilla football club have announced the signing of Peru international centre-back Alberto Rodriguez and forward Vladimir Hernandez for the 2018 season.

Rodriguez joins the club from Peruvian first division outfit Universitario, while Hernandez has parted ways with Brazil's Santos, Junior said on their official Twitter account on Tuesday, reports Xinhua news agency.
