Albert Jorquera Fortià (born March 3, 1979 in Bescanó, Girona, Catalonia) is a Spanish football player who plays goalkeeper for FC Barcelona.
Jorquera started playing for the Barcelona youth school in 1994. After that he went to Barcelona C in 1998, and was promoted to the FC Barcelona B team the following year. He was loaned to AD Ceuta and CE Mataró in second division B, before seizing the starting position in the second team. His first appearance in the top tier football was against Athletic Bilbao on January 17, 2004, and for 2004-05, following the departure of unsettled Rüştü Reçber, he was permanently ascended to the first team. In March 2007 he signed a contract extension with Barcelona until June 2008.
On December 29 2007, playing an unofficial match for the Catalonia national football team, Jorquera suffered an ACL injury to his right knee, which will keep him out of the pitches for at least six months. Barcelona signed Celta Vigo's José Manuel Pinto until the end of the season.
In March 2008, his contract was extended again, this time running until summer 2010.
Jorquera is the older cousin of Celtic player Marc Crosas.
