Francisco Ladislao Ortega (born 19 April 1996) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Liga Dominicana club Atlético Pantoja.[1]
Ortega spent seven years in the academy of Colón, which preceded a spell with El Quillá.[2] In 2013, Ortega completed a move to Atlético de Rafaela.[2] [3] He was moved into their senior squad ahead of the 2018–19 Primera B Nacional, with the defender making his professional debut after featuring for the remaining twenty-seven minutes of a home win over Olimpo on 19 October 2018; he had previously appeared in their first-team when he was an unused substitute for a Copa Argentina tie with Defensores de Belgrano in the preceding July.[1] [4] Ortega spent six months on loan with Central Norte in early 2019, making nine appearances.[4]
After securing promotion with Central Norte, Ortega returned to Atlético de Rafaela in July 2019 - before terminating his contract thirteen months later.[5] [6] At the end of November 2020, Ortega once again signed with Central Norté.[7] However, Ortega didn't play any official matches for the club after his return to the club, since he tested positive for Coronavirus in December.[8]
Prior to the start of the Liga Rafaelina de Fútbol, Club Atlético 9 de Julio announced the arrival of Ortega.[9] However, on 25 March 2022 it was confirmed, that Ortega had left 9 de Julio to join Dominican club Atlético Pantoja.[10] A year later, in March 2022, Ortega then signed for Bosnian First League club Jedinstvo Bihać.[11] [12] He returned to Atlético Pantoja in June 2022 again.
