In January 2008 Vortmann played as part of a second game right for LHC Cottbus , whose regular goalkeeper Tomasz Wilkosz was out due to a brain tumor. His contract with Füchsen Berlin expired in 2009. From the 2009/10 season on, Vortmann played for the DHC Rhineland . During this season he was also nominated for the first time for the German B national team.

On March 30, 2015, GWD Minden announced that Vortmann will move to HSV Hamburg . After filing for bankruptcy from Hamburg, he moved to SC DHfK Leipzig in January 2016. There he extended his contract to 2020 at the end of the year. Vormann played 118 games for the Leipzig team in which he threw 7 goals and had an average rate of around 28.8%. He then moved to the Wilhelmshaven HV .
