Career

Born in Florida, Uruguay, Cortelezzi came from the youth system of Nacional. He played in all categories and was top scorer in each of them. On 21 January 2011, he made his debut with the first team, on a summer friendly match against local rivals Peñarol, entering and scoring a goal.

In December 2013, after not having chances with the first team, he was sent to Serie D side Clodiense S.S.D.[3] He played eleven matches and scored four goals.
