Career

Ortiz's career began in 2008 with Real Arroyo Seco in Torneo Argentino A, he featured ten times for the club.[3] In 2008, Ortiz joined Huracán of the Argentine Primera División. Two years later, after no games for Huracán, Ortiz left to join Uruguayan Primera División team Racing Club. He made his professional debut on 5 September 2010 in a defeat to Liverpool, prior to scoring his first senior goal two weeks later against River Plate.[1] He spent two seasons with Racing Club, scoring six goals in thirty-seven appearances.[1] In July 2012, Ortiz returned to Argentine football to sign for Avellaneda's Independiente.[1][4]

His Independiente debut arrived on 28 November versus Belgrano.[1] After just two further appearances in the next four years, Ortiz joined Peruvian Primera División side Universidad San Martín on loan for the 2016 season.[1][5] He went on to score twenty times, including one brace against Alianza Atlético on 18 September 2016, in forty appearances for the club.[1] On 24 January 2017, Ortiz returned to Peru to play for Sporting Cristal on loan.[1] He scored in his first match, netting a late consolation against Sport Rosario on 25 February.[1] Ten more goals followed in forty-five games in all competitions for them.[1][6][7]

Former club Universidad San Martín resigned Ortiz permanently in July 2018, seven months before he completed a return to another previous team: Sporting Cristal.[1] He made his bow on 24 February versus Alianza Lima, prior to scoring twice on his Copa Sudamericana debut against Unión Española in May.[1][8]
