Club career

Deportivo Cali

Born in Cali, Orejuela represented Deportivo Cali as a youth. He made his first team debut on 7 August 2013 at the age of 18, starting in a 1–1 Copa Colombia away draw against Unión Magdalena.[1]

Orejuela made his Categoría Primera A debut on 5 April 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away loss against Millonarios.[2] Initially a backup option, he became a regular starter for the club from the 2016 season onwards; he scored his first senior goal on 20 November of that year, netting the opener in a 3–1 away defeat of Rionegro Águilas.[3]

Ajax

On 11 August 2017, Orejuela moved abroad and signed a five-year contract with Eredivisie side Ajax.[4] Initially assigned to the reserves in Eerste Divisie, he made his first team debut on 20 September, starting in a 5–1 away routing of SVV Scheveningen for the KNVB Cup.[5]

Orejuela made his debut in the Eredivisie on 17 December 2017, coming on as a half-time substitute for Deyovaisio Zeefuik in a 2–1 away success over AZ Alkmaar.

Cruzeiro

On 8 January 2019, Orejuela joined Cruzeiro on loan until December.[6] Initially a backup to Edílson, he became a regular starter as his side suffered relegation for the first time in the club's history. At the end of the year, Cruzeiro exercised their option to sign Orejuela, paying $1.5 million for 50% of his rights.[7]

Grêmio (loan)

On 17 January 2020, Orejuela joined Grêmio on loan.[8]
