Samuel Cruz "Samu" Cortés Cortés (born 9 January 2006) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays mainly as a right winger for Club Recreativo Granada.
Career
Born Granada, Andalusia, Cortés joined Granada CF's youth sides in 2020 from CD Ciudad de Granada, but spent the 2023–24 campaign on loan at CF Alhendín Balompié.[1] Back to the Nazaríes, he was assigned to the reserves in Segunda Federación,[2] and made his senior debut on 31 August 2024, coming on as a second-half substitute and scoring his side's only goal in a 2–1 away loss to Linares Deportivo.[3]
Cortés quickly established himself as a regular starter for the B's,[4] and agreed to a contract extension on 2 January 2025.[5] He made his first team debut eight days later, replacing Giorgi Tsitaishvili late into a 0–0 Segunda División home draw against Burgos CF.[6]
