Guillermo Sotelo (born 1 January 1991) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Finnish club FF Jaro.[1]

Career

Sotelo began in the youth ranks of Atlético y Tiro, before spending time with the academies of Renato Cesarini, Alianza Sport Rosario, San Lorenzo and Huracán; who gave Sotelo his start in senior football.[3] He made his debut in Primera B Nacional during a 1–1 draw with Atlético Tucumán on 22 October 2012, prior to netting his first goal in the following November against Douglas Haig.[1][4] Another goal versus Aldosivi arrived in 2012–13, as the left-back featured twenty-six times in all competitions.[1] His third season ended with promotion to the Primera División.[1] His top-flight bow came in a loss to Godoy Cruz in early 2015.[1]

Before departing Eduardo Domínguez's team in 2016, Sotelo was sent off in his final game for Huracán; against Racing Club in April 2015.[1] In January 2016, Primera B Nacional side Crucero del Norte loaned Sotelo.[1] He remained for three years, having been signed permanently six months into his loan contract, with the Garupá team, the last two of which were spent in Torneo Federal A after they suffered relegation in 2016–17.[1][5] He made a total of eighty-nine appearances for Crucero del Norte, whilst scoring nine times and also receiving three red cards.[1] On 20 January 2019, Sotelo joined Sarmiento of the tier two.[1][6][7]

On 6 July 2020, after spending the 2019–20 campaign with Brown, Sotelo headed to Finnish football with Ykkönen side FF Jaro.[8] His first appearance arrived on 26 July against MYPA, which preceded him subsequently netting his first goal for Jaro against the same opponents on 20 September.[1] He scored again in his penultimate match for the club versus MuSa on 31 October, as they eventually missed out on the promotion play-offs by six points.[1] in February 2021 Sotelo returned to Finland to play in FF Jaro again.[2][9]

In the summer 2022, HIFK in Veikkausliiga acquired Sotelo for an undisclosed fee. On 27 February 2023, Sotelo returned to FF Jaro.[10]
