Club career

Born in Valencia, Tortosa made his senior debut with Valencia CF's reserves in the 2008–09 season, in Segunda División B. After being sparingly used, he joined Recreativo de Huelva on 29 January 2011.[1]

Tortosa played his first match as a professional on 15 April 2011, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 home draw against FC Barcelona B for the Segunda División championship.[2] He appeared in a further three matches for Recre during the campaign.[3]

On 13 January 2012, Tortosa signed with third level club Deportivo Alavés.[4] He only featured twice during his spell, and joined fellow league side CD Alcoyano in the summer.[5]

Despite playing more regularly with the latter, Tortosa was released and moved to Gimnàstic de Tarragona on 19 July 2013, being initially assigned to its farm team.[6] On 6 July 2016, he signed for SD Leioa of division three.[7]
