Orozco progressed through the Lanús youth system.[4][5] He was promoted into the club's senior squad under manager Luis Zubeldía towards the end of 2020, initially featuring in pre-season action which saw him score in a win over Gimnasia y Esgrima on 21 October.[6] A week later, Orozco made his competitive first-team debut in a 3–2 victory over São Paulo in the Copa Sudamericana; replacing Braian Aguirre early in the second half.[3] The winger did the same on 31 October in a Copa de la Liga Profesional loss at home to Boca Juniors.[3] He scored his first senior goal at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes against Talleres on 9 November.[3]
Orozco scored twice in a Copa Sudamericana round of sixteen second leg victory over Bolívar on 2 December 2020.[3] After further Copa de la Liga goals against Newell's Old Boys and Rosario Central, the winger netted on his Copa Argentina debut on 23 February against Primera C Metropolitana's Real Pilar.[3]
On 22 February 2024, Orozco moved to Russian Premier League club Krylia Sovetov Samara on loan until the end of 2024, with an option to buy.[7]
Orozco represented Argentina at U15 and U17 level; appearing in over thirty matches in total.[8][9] For the U15s, he scored one goal (versus Paraguay) as they won the 2017 South American U-15 Championship on home soil.[8] For the U17s, Orozco scored two goals in his sole appearance at the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup against Tajikistan; having played seven times earlier that year at the South American U-17 Championship in Peru.[3][10][11]
