Career

edit

Bertocchi began with San Lorenzo.[1][3] He was promoted into their senior squad during the 2009–10 Argentine Primera División season, making the first of three appearances on 28 March 2010 versus Arsenal de Sarandí - his career debut.[1] Two seasons later, Bertocchi was loaned to Primera B Nacional's Aldosivi.[1][4] Seven appearances followed with the club.[1] He returned to San Lorenzo for 2012–13 and appeared on the bench four times, but failed to feature.[1] He subsequently joined Unión Santa Fe of the Argentine Primera División on loan in August 2013.[1] He netted two goals in his eighth game, against Defensa y Justicia.[1]

Overall, Bertocchi scored five times in thirty-one fixtures for Unión Santa Fe.[1] Defensa y Justicia became Bertocchi's fourth club on 30 June 2014.[1][5] He remained for the 2014 and 2015 seasons, scoring twice versus Atlético de Rafaela and Gimnasia y Esgrima respectively.[1] In the following two campaigns, Bertocchi played for fellow Primera División team Patronato.[1][6] On 30 August 2017, Bertocchi joined Argentine Primera División side Tigre.[1][7] He had to wait until January 2018 for his debut, during a home loss to Banfield at the Estadio José Dellagiovanna.[1] Bertocchi officially departed Tigre in the succeeding months.[8]

In February 2018, Bertocchi made a move to Sweden to join Dalkurd FF of the Allsvenskan.[8] However, the club claimed to have pulled out of the signing but Bertocchi declared all parties signed a contract.[8] He subsequently took the club to court in the following April, with a final decision not being made until September 2019.[8][9] Two months later, in June 2018, Bertocchi agreed to join Chilean Primera División team Deportes Temuco.[1] After ten total matches for Temuco, Bertocchi made a return to Argentina with San Martín on 4 June 2019.[10]
