Cameron Mitchel Puertas Castro (born 18 August 1998) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian club Union SG. Born in Switzerland, he is a citizen of Spain.
Puertas started his career with Swiss amateur club Renens, before joining Forward-Morges in the fifth division at the age of 16, where he was soon considered to be the best player in the regional group.[3]
In 2020, he made first appearance in the Swiss Super League with Lausanne-Sport.

He will not receive his Swiss passport until 2025 at the earliest.[6] [7] [8]
