Club career

Born in Seville, Andalusia, Ortiz played reserve team football with both Sevilla FC and Real Betis. 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 1–3 away loss against Valencia CF.
After being released by the Verdiblancos in June 2010, Ortiz resumed his career in Segunda División, successively representing Gimnàstic de Tarragona, CD Guadalajara, Deportivo Alavés and CD Mirandés. 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, but the season eventually ended in relegation.
