Luis Alfredo Urruti Giménez (born 11 September 1992) is a Uruguayan footballer who plays as a forward for Peruvian Liga 1 club Deportivo Garcilaso.[1]
Career[edit]
Urruti played in the youth ranks of Centro Atlético Fénix, where he stayed until December 2011, when he left football due to his father's death. [2] He returned to football in 2013 to play in Club Atlético Cerro, being promoted to the first team that same year under manager Danilo Baltierra. That season, in a match against Peñarol, he suffered a concussion and had to leave the field in an ambulance.[3] He had a great 2015-16 season, helping Cerro to qualify to the 2017 Copa Libertadores and scoring 6 goals, which made the big teams in Uruguay take an interest in him.
Club Nacional and Club Peñarol both disputed Urruti's signing, with the latter team being the most interested in it. In July 2016, his transfer to Peñarol was formally announced, with him signing a contract for three years. He considered his move to Peñarol to be a dream fulfilled, due to him being a team fan.[4] Urruti played in the 2016 Copa Sudamericana, where Peñarol was eliminated by Sportivo Luqueño. With the arrival of manager Leonardo Ramos, he stopped playing regularly. Despite not being a part of Ramos' plans, the club's board decided that Urruti would stay until the end of the season.
In August 2017, he was loaned to C.A. Fénix,[5] where he returned to play frequently and became a key player.
