Ortiz has been one of Goa’s most impressive players for the last two seasons. The 29-year-old forward scored eight goals and provided five assists in 15 matches this season, including a memorable hat-trick against Chennaiyin FC to end the Gaurs’ winless run. In the 2020-21 season, Ortiz fired six goals and an assist.
The Spaniard played his last match for FC Goa on February 26 as a second-half substitute against Mumbai City FC.
Ortiz began his youth career at Getafe CF before playing for a number of Spanish clubs such as Atlético de Madrid B, Cultural Leonesa, Albacete B and many others. FC Goa brought him out of Spain for the first time in his playing career and Ortiz took to the Hero ISL like a duck to water.
Only Ferran Corominas (48) and Hugo Boumous (16) have scored more goals than Ortiz (14) for FC Goa in the Hero ISL.
