Career[edit]

Born in Florida, Uruguay, Cortelezzi came from the youth system of Nacional. He played in all categories and was top scorer in each of them. On 21 January 2011, he made his debut with the first team, on a summer friendly match against local rivals Peñarol, entering and scoring a goal. It was a dream debut for him.[1] However, he never played an official match with the first team.

In early 2013, after finishing his contract with Nacional, he emigrated to Italy to play for U.S. Lecce.[2]

In December 2013, after not having chances with the first team, he was sent to Serie D side Clodiense S.S.D.[3] He played eleven matches and scored four goals.

In August 2014, he was transferred to Swiss Challenge League side FC Lugano.

On 25 June 2015, he signed a new deal with FC Chiasso.[4]

In August 2016, he stayed in Switzerland and signed a new deal with Le Mont LS.
