Ramiro Enrique Paz (born 4 May 2001) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Orlando City of Major League Soccer.[1][3]
Club career
Banfield
Enrique progressed through the youth ranks of Banfield.[4] On 25 July 2019, he signed his first professional contract; penning terms for three years.[2] He was promoted to the club's senior squad under manager Javier Sanguinetti at the beginning of 2021, having only previously been called up to train with them and featuring in a friendly in October 2020 against Talleres.[5][6] On 12 February 2021, he made his senior professional debut, entering as a 73rd-minute substitute for Luciano Pons in a 2–0 victory over Racing Club in the 2021 Copa de la Liga Profesional group stage.[7] He scored his first senior goal in the same competition, the equalizer of a 2–2 draw with Estudiantes de La Plata on 5 April 2021.
Orlando City
On 26 January 2023, Enrique signed for Orlando City of Major League Soccer on a three-year contract with two additional club option years. He was rostered under the MLS U22 initiative.[8] He made his debut for the club on 26 February 2023, replacing Ercan Kara in the 63rd minute of a 1–0 win over the New York Red Bulls.[9] Enrique scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 victory over the Colorado Rapids on 10 June.[10]
Following an ankle injury near the start of the 2024 season which sidelined him for just over two months, Enrique scored a goal in six matches across all competitions in a row from 6 July to 4 August, with the streak only ending after a 0–0 draw against Cruz Azul before Orlando City lost 5–4 on penalties.[1] With four consecutive league goals in a row, Enrique matched Dom Dwyer, Nani, and Daryl Dike's record for the most consecutive goals across league matches for the club.[11]
International career
Enrique received call-ups at under-18 level from Argentina in 2019.[12][13][14]
Personal life
Enrique is the son of 1986 FIFA World Cup winner Héctor Enrique.[12][15][16] His uncle, Carlos, also played professional football.[12] He also has two brothers, Fernando and Facundo, who are also sportsmen; in football and rugby, respectively.[12]
