Cameron Mitchel Puertas Castro (born 18 August 1998) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Bundesliga club Werder Bremen, on loan from Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah. Born in Switzerland, he is a citizen of Spain.
Puertas started his career with Swiss amateur club Renens, before joining Forward-Morges in the fifth division at the age of 16, where he was soon considered to be the best player in the regional group.[3]
In 2020, he made first appearance in the Swiss Super League with Lausanne-Sport.
On 22 January 2022, Puertas signed a 3.5-year contract with Union SG in Belgium.[4]
On 26 August 2024, Puertas signed with Al-Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia.[5]
Puertas joined Bundesliga club Werder Bremen on loan in September 2025.[6] While the move was agreed on 1 September, the last day of the summer transfer window, it was announced on 4 September upon Al-Qadsiah's request.[6] The loan agreement includes an option for Bremen to sign Puertas permanently.[6]
Personal life
While being born and raised in Switzerland, Puertas only holds Spanish citizenship, inherited from his parents.[7] He was about to become a Swiss national in 2021, but the naturalisation process has been halted after he drove without a license. He will not receive his Swiss passport until 2025 at the earliest.[8][9][10]
