Career
[edit]Born Granada, Andalusia, Cortés joined Granada CF's youth sides in 2020 from CD Ciudad de Granada, but spent the 2023–24 campaign on loan at CF Alhendín Balompié.[1] Back to the Nazaríes, he was assigned to the reserves in Segunda Federación,[2] and made his senior debut on 31 August 2024, coming on as a second-half substitute and scoring his side's only goal in a 2–1 away loss to Linares Deportivo.[3]
Cortés quickly established himself as a regular starter for the B's,[4] and agreed to a contract extension on 2 January 2025.[5] He made his first team debut eight days later, replacing Giorgi Tsitaishvili late into a 0–0 Segunda División home draw against Burgos CF.[6]
