Stefan

Ortega Moreno

RELIABLE, EXPERIENCED STOPPER...

Stefan joined the Club on a free transfer in July 2022 after his contract at Arminia Bielefeld expired.

The experienced German bolsters City’s goalkeeping options and wears the No. 18 shirt.

He started all but one of Arminia Bielefeld’s Bundesliga matches last term.

In total, he made 220 appearances across two different spells at a team he joined as a youngster in 2007. He made his first-team debut four years later, helping them win promotion to 2. Bundesliga in 2013.

He joined TSV 1860 Munich in 2014, making 64 appearances in three years, before re-signing for Arminia Bielefeld in 2017 and eventually becoming vice captain.

Though he has the formidable talent of Ederson ahead of him, he has played regularly in cup competitions and made several  impressive displays.

Stefan made his Premier League debut in May 2023, keeping a clean sheet in our 3-0 win over West Ham, helping continue City’s positive run of form to help us secure our third consecutive Premier League title and his first English title in his debut season with the Club. 

The German conceded just one goal in our journey to securing the 2022/23 FA Cup after City overcame Manchester United 2-1 in the final. 

To top off his first season with City, Ortega Moreno was part of Pep Guardiola‘s Champions League winning squad that completed the Treble and created history at City.

The goalkeeper was part of Pep Guardiola‘s squad that travelled to Athens in August for the 2023 Super Cup in which we beat Sevilla on penalties.
