Career[edit]

Ojeda began his senior career with Ferro Carril Oeste of Primera B Nacional.[1][3] His debut appearance for the club arrived on 30 January 2016 against Atlético Paraná, playing eighty-five minutes and scoring Ferro Carril Oeste's only goal in a 1–1 draw.[1] He scored two more goals in twenty further appearances during 2016.[1] After twenty-four appearances and two goals in his second campaign, Ojeda departed in July 2017 to join Primera División side Racing Club.[1][4][5] He made his first top-flight appearance on 17 September versus Banfield, which was one of sixteen matches in his opening season as they finished in seventh place.[1]

After appearing just twice in 2018–19, in the Copa Sudamericana against Corinthians on both occasions, Ojeda left on loan in July 2019 to fellow Primera División team Huracán.[1] He made a total of twelve appearances, scoring in his final league match on 7 March 2020 against Banfield.[1]

On 7 January 2023, Ojeda signed a three-year designated player contract with an additional two option years with Orlando City of Major League Soccer.[6]
