Career

[edit]

Ortega spent seven years in the academy of Colón, which preceded a spell with El Quillá.[1] In 2013, Ortega completed a move to Atlético de Rafaela.[1][4] He was moved into their senior squad ahead of the 2018–19 Primera B Nacional, with the defender making his professional debut after featuring for the remaining twenty-seven minutes of a home win over Olimpo on 19 October 2018; he had previously appeared in their first-team when he was an unused substitute for a Copa Argentina tie with Defensores de Belgrano in the preceding July.[3][5] Ortega spent six months on loan with Central Norte in early 2019, making nine appearances.[5]

After securing promotion with Central Norte, Ortega returned to Atlético de Rafaela in July 2019 - before terminating his contract thirteen months later.[6][7] At the end of November 2020, Ortega once again signed with Central Norté.[8] However, Ortega didn't play any official matches for the club after his return to the club, since he tested positive for Coronavirus in December.[9]

Prior to the start of the Liga Rafaelina de Fútbol, Club Atlético 9 de Julio announced the arrival of Ortega.[10] However, on 25 March 2022 it was confirmed, that Ortega had left 9 de Julio to join Dominican club Atlético Pantoja.[11] A year later, in March 2022, Ortega then signed for Bosnian First League club Jedinstvo Bihać.[12][13] He returned to Atlético Pantoja in June 2022 again.
