Adrián Cortés Valdovino (born November 19, 1983 in Mexico City) is a Mexican professional footballer, who now plays as a defender for Cruz Azul. He made his debut April 6, 2003 for Cruz Azul, the team that brought him up, against Deportivo Toluca, a game which resulted in a 3-1 victory for Cruz Azul.

Cruz Azul

Adrián Cortés was on Cruz Azul's bench for 4 years, only being able to participate in 23 games (9 games as starter [5 of them being in the Primera División Apertura 2003) in his entire stay at Cruz Azul. Primera División Apertura 2003 was his most active season in Cruz Azul, but unfortunately, the Mexican defender could not find a permanent spot in the team that had brought him up.

Coronel Bolognesi

Juan Reinoso, former Cruz Azul player, took Adrian Cortes to his Peruvian team, Coronel Bolognesi. Adrian Cortes did not let the opportunity slip, which even gave him the possibility to play in Copa Libertadores, the most prestigious CONMEBOL club-based tournament. His visit to Peru lasted only a semester, Adrian Cortes played for Tecos UAG in 2008. He then played for Cruz Azul Hidalgo in 2009.
