Club career

Early career and Colón

Born in Sáenz Peña in the Chaco Province of Argentina, Ojeda first took at interest after his grandmother gave him a football as a gift for his first birthday.[2] His first club in organised football was Club Atlético Sportivo, with whom he would travel to various locations across Argentina, playing in youth tournaments, and earned a trial with professional side Argentinos Juniors.[2] He also played for local sides Escuela Los Amigos and Rey del Norte, before successfully trialling with Colón in the city of Charata.[2] In 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina, Ojeda left Colón; as the club were unable to provide a wage or a place to live, he returned home to live with his parents.[2] However, he returned to the club in 2021, earning a place in the reserve team as a starter, and being given an apartment by the club.[2] On 26 June 2022, Ojeda made his debut for Colón when he came on as a half-time substitute for Tomás Moschión in a 1–0 Argentine Primera División loss to Huracán.[3] Following injuries to both Rafael Delgado and Andrew Teuten, Ojeda was given a run in the first team, playing five games in July 2022.[4] He signed his first professional contract with the club the following month.[5] The following year, Ojeda was demoted to the reserve squad by then-manager Marcelo Saralegui, a decision which surprised fans. Seemingly in response, Ojeda posted an update to his personal Twitter account, stating: "No es momento de tirar la toalla!!" ("This is not the time to throw in the towel!!").[6] Following the departure of Saralegui, new manager Néstor Gorosito recalled Ojeda to the first team, and he was named on the bench for a Copa de la Liga Profesional fixture against Independiente on 18 August 2023, though he did not feature.[7]

San Telmo

Having been demoted to the Colón reserve team by manager Marcelo Saralegui, Ojeda did not feature for the senior squad in the first half of the 2023 season.[8] Following Saralegui's departure from the club, new manager Néstor Gorosito recalled him to the first team, though he only featured on the bench.[8] At the conclusion of the season, he was released by the club, and went on to join Primera Nacional side San Telmo in January 2024.[8][9][10]
