Club career
Ojeda was born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, and finished his graduation with UD Las Palmas. He made his senior debut for the C-team in the 2013–14 season in the regional leagues,[1] before moving to Tercera División side UD Telde on 7 August 2015.[2]
After scoring 23 goals during his first and only season at the club,[3] Ojeda signed for Gimnàstic de Tarragona's farm team CF Pobla de Mafumet on 8 July 2016.[4] The following 31 January he cut ties with the club,[5] and joined Lorca FC in Segunda División B just hours later.[6]
Ojeda contributed with 16 appearances (play-offs included) and four goals as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División for the first time ever. He made his professional debut on 18 August 2017, starting in a 2–0 home win against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[7]
Ojeda scored his first professional goal on 16 September 2017, netting the opener in a 1–1 home draw against CF Reus Deportiu. He was the club's top goalscorer during the campaign with six goals, but suffered team relegation.
On 28 June 2018, Ojeda signed a three-year contract with La Liga side CD Leganés.[8] He made his debut in the category on 20 August, replacing Nabil El Zhar in a 1–2 loss at Athletic Bilbao.
On 13 January 2019, after appearing rarely, Ojeda was loaned to Granada CF in the second division, until the end of the season.[9] On 16 July, he moved to fellow league team Albacete Balompié also in a temporary deal.[10]
