Ortuño joined Granada CF from La Liga on 17 January 2014, being immediately loaned to Girona FC.[7] He scored his first professional goal on the 25th, his team's in a 1–1 home draw against SD Eibar.[8] He finished the campaign as club top scorer alongside Gerard Bordas, as the Catalans narrowly avoided relegation from the second division.[9]
On 28 July 2014, Ortuño signed a new contract with Granada running until 2018.[10] He played his first game in the Spanish top flight on 23 August, featuring 45 minutes in a 2–1 home win over Deportivo de La Coruña.[11]
On 16 January 2015, Ortuño was loaned to Las Palmas until June.[12] After winning promotion to the top flight he was bought outright for €1 million, signing a contract until 2019[13] but being loaned to second-tier Real Zaragoza on 21 July.[14]
Ortuño cut ties with Las Palmas on 2 September 2017,[17] and agreed to a one-year deal at Real Valladolid the following day.[18] Late in the month, however, he unilaterally terminated his contract with the latter, triggering a clause which meant he would not be able to compete in the Spanish second division that season.[19]
On 3 January 2018, the 27-year-old Ortuño moved abroad for the first time in his career and signed with Major League Soccer's Real Salt Lake.[20] He was released on 23 July,[21] and joined his first club Albacete on a three-year deal just hours later.[22]
On 30 January 2019, Ortuño was loaned to Extremadura UD also in the second division until June.[23] On 6 August, he moved to Real Oviedo of the same league again in a temporary deal.[24]
Back to Alba after scoring 14 goals for the Asturians, Ortuño was their top scorer with seven but could not prevent relegation. On 18 July 2021, he signed a one-year contract with FC Cartagena still in division two.[25]
Personal life
Ortuño's younger brother, Juan Tomás, was also a footballer and a forward. He too was brought up at Albacete.[26][27]
