Brayan Josué Cortés Fernández (born 11 March 1995) is a Chilean footballer that currently plays for Primera División club Deportes Iquique as goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Iquique, Chile, he played as goalkeeper since he was five and joined hometown Deportes Iquique youth set-up aged fourteen.[1] He was promoted to the first adult team in 2013 and his professional debut came one year later on 30 March 2014, where conceded three goals in a 3–0 away loss with Ñublense.[2]

After completing the 2013–14 with two appearances and a Copa Chile (as back-up), Cortés was chosen as the coming season first-choice keeper by Héctor Pinto after Rodrigo Naranjo injury.[3] He played the tournament’s first five matches, highlighting his performances against powerhouses Colo-Colo (2–0 loss)[4] and Universidad de Chile (2–2 draw)[5] that kept him some games more in the goal after returning the bench with Naranjo fully recovered.

He completed the 2014–15 season with eight appearances.

In 2015 he was included again in a Chilean national under-20 team roster, after being nominated by Hugo Tocalli to the South American Youth Championship in Uruguay.[9]
