Born in Porto Alegre, Ortiz was an Internacional youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the B-team on 2 September 2015, starting in a 2–0 Copa FGF away win against Igrejinha.[2]

After appearing with the B-side, Ortiz was promoted to the main squad in January 2017, and made his first team debut on 25 February by starting in a 1–0 home win against Brasil de Pelotas for the Campeonato Gaúcho championship. On 6 March, he extended his contract until December 2019.[3]

Ortiz had 13 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B appearances during his first senior season, as his side achieved promotion to the Série A at first attempt.

Ortiz made his debut in the main category of Brazilian football on 15 April 2018, starting in a 3–0 away loss against América Mineiro.

Sport Recife (loan)

[edit | edit source]

On 31 December 2017, he was loaned to top-tier side Sport Recife for one year.[4] He only had six appearances for Sport Recife as his side had been relegated in the 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.

On 12 December 2018, Ortiz joined Red Bull Brasil on loan.[5]

Red Bull Bragantino

In April 2019, Ortiz signed a permanent deal with Red Bull Bragantino, after the merger of Red Bull Brasil and Clube Atlético Bragantino.[6]

Flamengo

On 5 March 2024, Ortiz signed a five year contract with Flamengo in a 7m transfer deal.[7] He debuted for his new club on 10 April 2024 in a Copa Libertadores 2–0 win against Palestino, in this match Ortiz also scored his first goal for Flamengo.

International career

In June 2021, he received his first call-up to the Brazil national team, amidst the 2021 Copa América on home soil, to replace injured defender Felipe for the quarter-finals onward. He became the first Red Bull Bragantino player to be summoned to the national team since 1994, and the first to be called since Red Bull took over the club. Red Bull Bragantino was leading the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A at that Time.[8] Brazil finished the continental championship as runners-up.
