Career

Born in Elda, Alicante, Valencian Community, Ortuño finished his formation with Deportivo de La Coruña, after representing Hércules CF and CD Eldense. He made his senior debut with the former's reserves on 15 October 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 Segunda División B home win over CF Talavera de la Reina.

Ortuño was promoted to farm team Laracha CF in Tercera División ahead of the 2018–19 season,[1] but was loaned back to former club Eldense on 21 December 2018.[2] On 30 July 2019, he returned to Hércules and was assigned to the B-team also in the fourth division.[3]

On 1 October 2020, Ortuño returned to Eldense on a permanent deal.[4] On 25 January 2022, he agreed to a 18-month deal with Real Valladolid's reserves in Primera División RFEF,[5] but returned to Eldense on loan on 14 July 2022.[6]

Ortuño was an undisputed starter for the Azulgranas during the campaign, contributing with three goals in 44 appearances overall as the club returned to Segunda División after a 59-year absence.[7] He signed a permanent contract with the club on 8 July 2023,[8] and made his professional debut on 13 August, starting in a 1–0 away win over FC Cartagena.[9]
