Alejandro "Álex" Ortiz Ramos (born 25 September 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Seville, Andalusia, Ortiz played reserve team football with both Sevilla FC and Real Betis.[1] On 10 February 2008, whilst at the service of the latter club, he appeared in his first and only La Liga game, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 away loss against Valencia CF.[2]

After being released by the Verdiblancos in June 2010, Ortiz resumed his career in the Segunda División, successively representing Gimnàstic de Tarragona,[3] CD Guadalajara,[4] Deportivo Alavés[5] and CD Mirandés.[6] He scored his first goal as a professional on 17 March 2012 to help Gimnàstic defeat hosts FC Cartagena 3–1 after coming on as a 26th-minute substitute for Sergio Juste,[7] but the season eventually ended in relegation.
