Career

Orihuela played for Instituto at youth level.[3] He got his career underway with Deportivo Morón in 2012.[2][4] He made his professional debut in Primera B Metropolitana against Central Córdoba on 30 October, which was the first of thirty-five total appearances across the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons in all competitions.[2] Estudiantes completed the signing of Orihuela on 7 July 2014.[2] However, he departed the club less than two years later after featuring in just two first-team fixtures.[2] January 2016 saw Orihuela join fellow Primera División side Quilmes.[2] He scored his first senior goal in his second match, netting versus San Lorenzo on 20 March at home.[2]

He remained with Quilmes until mid-2017, when he departed following their relegation to Primera B Nacional; subsequently signing for Tigre.[2] He played in two games in the first part of 2017–18 with Tigre, facing Chacarita Juniors and Temperley; a team who then signed Orihuela in January 2018.[2][5] A Temperley debut at La Bombonera against Boca Juniors on 11 February was followed by seven further appearances in a season that ended with the club being relegated.[2] On 18 August 2018, Orihuela joined Superleague Greece club Apollon Smyrnis.[2][6] He appeared twenty times as they were relegated with just ten points; his last game was against Lamia.[2]

On 22 July 2019, Newell's Old Boys announced terms had been agreed with Orihuela.[3][7]
