Career

[edit]

Ojeda began his senior career with Ferro Carril Oeste of Primera B Nacional.[1][3] His debut appearance for the club arrived on 30 January 2016 against Atlético Paraná, playing eighty-five minutes and scoring Ferro Carril Oeste's only goal in a 1–1 draw.[1] He scored two more goals in twenty further appearances during 2016.[1] After twenty-four appearances and two goals in his second campaign, Ojeda departed in July 2017 to join Primera División side Racing Club.[1][4][5] He made his first top-flight appearance on 17 September versus Banfield, which was one of sixteen matches in his opening season as they finished in seventh place.[1]

After appearing just twice in 2018–19, in the Copa Sudamericana against Corinthians on both occasions, Ojeda left on loan in July 2019 to fellow Primera División team Huracán.[1] He made a total of twelve appearances, scoring in his final league match on 7 March 2020 against Banfield.[1]

On 7 January 2023, Ojeda signed a three-year designated player contract with an additional two option years with Orlando City of Major League Soccer.[6] Ojeda scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 loss to Charlotte FC on 18 March.[7]

In the 2024 season, Ojeda scored seven goals and made 13 assists in 45 appearances across all competitions, tying him with Nicolás Lodeiro for the most assists for the club in the season and making him only second to Facundo Torres in total goal contributions with twenty.[8] However, Ojeda led the club for the most assists with 12 in the regular season.[9]
