Alfredo Ortuño Martínez (born 21 January 1991) is a Spanish professionalfootballer who plays as aforward forPrimera Federación clubCartagena.
Born inYecla,Region of Murcia, Ortuño graduated fromAlbacete Balompié's youth setup. On 20 December 2008, while still a junior, he played his first match as a professional, coming on as a second-halfsubstitute in a 3–0 away loss againstUD Las Palmas in theSegunda División.[3]
In summer 2010, Ortuño was definitely promoted to the main squad, but appeared rarely as theCastilla-La Mancha side dropped down a level. On 11 July 2011, he moved toGetafe CF B ofSegunda División B,[4] and continued to compete at that level the following seasons, representingLevante UD B[5] andLa Hoya Lorca CF.[6]
Ortuño joinedGranada CF fromLa Liga on 17 January 2014, being immediately loaned toGirona FC.[7] He scored his first professional goal on the 25th, his team's in a 1–1 home draw againstSD Eibar.[8] He finishedthe campaign as club top scorer alongsideGerard Bordas, as theCatalans narrowly avoided relegation from the second division.[9]
On 28 July 2014, Ortuño signed a new contract with Granada running until 2018.[10] He played his first game in theSpanish top flight on 23 August, featuring 45 minutes in a 2–1 home win overDeportivo de La Coruña.[11]
On 16 January 2015, Ortuño was loaned to Las Palmas until June.[12] Afterwinning promotion to the top flight he was bought outright for€1 million, signing a contract until 2019[13] but being loaned to second-tierReal Zaragoza on 21 July.[14]
After an unassuming six-month spell atRCD Mallorca in 2016, Ortuño joined fellow division two clubCádiz CF on 4 August of that year, on loan.[15] He scored a career-best 17 goals duringthe season, including braces againstGetafe CF,AD Alcorcón andCórdoba CF.[16]
Ortuño cut ties with Las Palmas on 2 September 2017,[17] and agreed to a one-year deal atReal Valladolid the following day.[18] Late in the month, however, he unilaterally terminated his contract with the latter, triggering a clause which meant he would not be able to compete in the Spanish second divisionthat season.[19]
On 3 January 2018, the 27-year-old Ortuño moved abroad for the first time in his career and signed withMajor League Soccer'sReal Salt Lake.[20] He was released on 23 July,[21] and joined his first club Albacete on a three-year deal just hours later.[22]
On 30 January 2019, Ortuño was loaned toExtremadura UD also in the second division until June.[23] On 6 August, he moved toReal Oviedo of the same league again in a temporary deal.[24]
Back toAlba after scoring 14 goals for theAsturians, Ortuño was their top scorer with seven but could not preventrelegation. On 18 July 2021, he signed a one-year contract withFC Cartagena still in division two.[25]
Ortuño's younger brother,Juan Tomás, was also a footballer and a forward. He too was brought up at Albacete.[26][27]
