Juan Tomás Ortuño Martínez (born 11 February 1992), commonly known as Juanto, is a Spanish footballer who plays for SD Ponferradina as a forward.

Football career

Born in Yecla, Region of Murcia, Juanto joined Villarreal CF in 2011 following a brief period with Albacete Balompié,[1] being initially assigned to the C-team. On 21 January 2012 he made his Segunda División debut, starting for the reserves in a 0–1 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña.[2]

Juanto scored his first goal as a professional on 3 March 2012, playing 28 minutes and contributing to a 4–3 home win over CD Alcoyano.[3] He contributed with 16 games during the season, as both the first and the second teams dropped down a level.

Over the next two campaigns, Juanto scored 31 goals in 68 division three games, including all four of his team's efforts on 13 January 2013 in a win over CF Reus Deportiu,[4] and a hat-trick on 17 February against UE Llagostera.[5] He had one call-up to the main squad, remaining an unused substitute in the 1–1 La Liga home draw against Elche CF on 30 March 2014.[6]

On 17 July 2014, Juanto signed a two-year deal with Real Murcia from the second tier.[7] However, after the club's administrative relegation, he cut ties with it and moved to CE Sabadell FC also in the category.[8] He scored twice during his tenure, equalising for a 1–1 draw at Real Zaragoza on 14 September[9] and getting the only goal then being sent off in a home win over SD Ponferradina six days later,[10] in an eventual relegation.

On 9 April 2015, Juanto terminated his contract with the Catalans and signed for UCAM Murcia CF in the third division hours later.[11] On 14 July, he joined second tier side Llagostera;[12] in the following transfer window, however, he was released, and moved to Portugal after penning a one-and-a-half-year deal with C.F. Os Belenenses.[13] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 24 January, replacing Rafael Amorim at half-time and scoring in a 3–3 draw against Vitória S.C. at the Estádio do Restelo.[14]

Personal life

Juanto's older brother, Alfredo, is also a footballer and a forward. He too was brought up at Albacete.[15][16]
