Juan Tomás Ortuño Martínez (born 11 February 1992), commonly known as Juanto, is a Spanish footballer who plays as a forward for CD Eldense.
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 1–0 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña.[2]
Juanto scored his first goal as a professional on 3 March 2012, playing 28 minutes of the 4–3 home win over CD Alcoyano.[3] He contributed 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 defeat of 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 with 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 that tier.[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 victory over SD Ponferradina six days later,[10] in an eventual relegation.
On 9 April 2015, Juanto terminated his contract with the Catalans and joined UCAM Murcia CF in the third division hours later.[11] On 14 July, he signed with second-tier side Llagostera;[12] in the following transfer window, however, he was released, and moved to Portugal after agreeing to 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]
Juanto joined SD Ponferradina on 9 August 2016, after cutting ties with Belenenses.[15] On 4 January 2017 he left by mutual consent,[16] and returned to his previous club the next day.[17]
Juanto left Belenenses on 2 January 2018,[18] and returned to his country with Lleida Esportiu two days later.[19] He moved to fellow second-tier team Córdoba CF on 29 June 2019,[20] signing for CD Castellón in the same league the following 8 January.[21]
Juanto helped the Valencians to promote with eight goals in just 12 matches,[22] but was sparingly used afterwards.[23] On 22 June 2022, he agreed to a contract at Primera Federación side CD Eldense,[24] achieving another promotion as the latter returned to division two after 59 years; he scored the decisive goal in the playoffs, equalising the 3–3 extra time draw against Real Madrid Castilla in the second leg of the final (4–4 aggregate).[25]
Juanto's older brother, Alfredo, was also a footballer and a forward. He too was brought up at Albacete.[26][27]
