Career
Barcelona
Born in Málaga, Mortimer began his career at UD La Mosca as a four-year old. Instead of getting picked up by Málaga CF, he was discovered by Sevilla and spent one year making the two-and-a-half-hour trip between the two cities. The distance would prove to be too demanding for the youngster, and he joined Málaga's youth academy.[2] In 2013, he joined the famous Barcelona youth academy where he worked his way through the youth ranks, winning the UEFA Youth League with the Juveniles A in 2018.[3]
Mortimer made his debut for the club's reserve team, Barcelona B, on 24 March 2019 in a 1–0 win at Ebro under head coach García Pimienta, and began receiving regular call-ups for the team during the 2019–20 season.[3] He was officially promoted to the B team in June 2020, signing a three-year contract, with his buyout clause set to €50 million which would rise to €100 million if he were to be promoted to the first team.[3] He made a total of 39 appearances for Barça B, scoring three goals in four seasons as part of the team.[4] He was released from his contract on 7 July 2022, making him a free agent.[5]
Viborg
On 7 July 2022, the same day as he was released by Barcelona B, Mortimer joined Danish Superliga club Viborg FF on a four-year contract.[6][7] He made his debut for Viborg on 24 July in a 3–1 away loss to AGF, coming on in the 83rd minute in place of Jay-Roy Grot.[8] His first Viborg goal came on 9 August, opening the score in a 2–1 away win over Faroese club B36 Tórshavn in the UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round.[9][10]
On 10 August 2023, Viborg confirmed the mutual agreement to terminate Mortimer's contract.[11]
Granada B
On 17 August 2023, Mortimer signed a one-year contract with Granada's B team competing in the third-tier Primera Federación.[12] He made his debut for the club on 27 August, coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 home defeat against Murcia.[13]
