Esteban Gabriel Orfano (born 13 January 1992) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a right midfielder.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Orfano started his career with Boca Juniors, notably featuring for their youth team at the 2011 U-20 Copa Libertadores in Peru; netting once across six matches.[1][3] He was promoted into their senior squad during the 2010–11 Primera División, making two appearances against All Boys and Lanús under manager Julio César Falcioni.[1][4] In January 2012, Orfano completed a loan move to Spain's Villarreal B.[1][5] His debut arrived in a 0–3 defeat to Alcorcón in February, before featuring versus Alcoyano in a campaign which culminated with relegation from the Segunda División.[1]

July 2013 saw Orfano loaned to Douglas Haig.[1] After scoring his first two senior goals for Douglas Haig across 2013–14 in Primera B Nacional, Orfano joined fellow second tier team Patronato in July 2014.[1] He remained for two seasons as they secured eighth and second-place finishes, with the latter securing promotion to the Primera División.[1] Orfano departed Patronato soon after, but stayed in the top-flight by agreeing a loan contract with Atlético de Rafaela.[1] One goal in eleven followed.[1] On 18 July 2016, Orfano left Boca permanently for Instituto.[1] He participated thirty-six times and scored six in 2016–17.[1]

Further stints in the ranks of Aldosivi, where he won promotion, and Nueva Chicago occurred between 2017 and 2018.[1] His first goal for Nueva Chicago came on 28 September 2018 in an encounter with ex-club Atlético de Rafaela.[1] Orfano scored a total of three times for them in 2018–19 as they reached the promotion play-offs.[1] In July 2019, Orfano headed off to Bolivia with Wilstermann.[6][7] He'd remain for a season and a half, netting goals against Real Potosí, Oriente Petrolero, Royal Pari and Aurora - all on home soil.[1] He also featured eight times in the Copa Libertadores.[1] He was released at the end of 2020.[1][8]

International career

[edit]

Orfano represented Argentina at U17 level.[1] He won four caps at the 2009 FIFA World Cup in Nigeria, scoring against the hosts on the way to leaving the competition at the round of sixteen stage.[1] At the beginning of that year, Orfano was selected as part of their squad for the South American U-17 Championship and made five appearances.[3][9] He had previous experience with the U15s.[9][10]
