Done! Ortega leaves Man City
Former Bielefeld player Stefan Ortega Moreno wants more playing time and is leaving Manchester City.
Goalkeeper Stefan Ortega Moreno is leaving Manchester City after three and a half years and is joining Nottingham Forest. In Nottingham, Ortega Moreno signs a contract until the end of the season. Both clubs announced this on Sunday.

“I really enjoyed my time at Manchester City,” Ortega Moreno said on his departure. He is leaving the club “as a better goalkeeper” and looks back on a “formative and successful phase.”
City’s sporting director Hugo Viana praised the German’s importance to the club’s successes. “Without him, much of what the city achieved during this time would not have been possible,” said Viana.
