Club career

edit

Villarreal

edit

Born in Vigo, Galicia, Mariño played for Villarreal CF since the age of 14, having already represented four teams as a youth. He made his professional debut in the 2010–11 season, helping the reserves barely avoid relegation from the Segunda División while appearing in 38 games.[3]

Mariño was again first choice the following campaign, but as the main squad suffered relegation in La Liga the B's were forced to drop down to Segunda División B even though they had finished in a comfortable 12th position. After the departures of longtime incumbent Diego López and 41-year-old César Sánchez (the latter retired), he was promoted to the first team by manager Julio Velázquez – also his boss in the second side.

Valladolid and Levante

edit

Mariño signed a five-year contract with Real Valladolid on 5 July 2013, with Villarreal retaining an option to buy him back for €300,000.[4] He made his debut in the top flight on 17 August, in a 1–2 home loss against Athletic Bilbao.[5]

On 8 August 2014, Mariño moved to Levante UD of the same league in a season-long loan.[6][7] On 31 August of the following year, he signed a permanent three-year deal with the club.[8]

Sporting Gijón

edit

On 1 July 2016, after Levante's relegation, Mariño joined Sporting de Gijón for four years.[9] Second choice to Iván Cuéllar, he made his debut on 26 November in a 2–1 loss at leaders Real Madrid.[10][11]

On 18 January 2018, Mariño extended his contract until 2022.[12] Between 4 February and 1 April he was unbeaten during 764 minutes[13] and, at the end of the season, he was named Sporting's player of the year.[14]

In August 2019, another year was added to Mariño's contract.[15] He remained first-choice at El Molinón in the ensuing seasons, even after the re-acquisition of Cuéllar in 2021.[16] He suffered a right hamstring injury the following March and was replaced by the latter for ten games as the side successfully fought relegation,[17] returning on 29 May for the final match of the campaign in a 1–0 home defeat against UD Las Palmas.[18]

Almería

edit

On 26 January 2023, Mariño returned to the top tier after agreeing to an 18-month contract with UD Almería.[19] He made his only appearance of the season on 4 March, as a half-time substitute for the injured Fernando and conceding both goals in a 2–0 home loss to Villarreal.[20]

Mariño spent the 2023–24 campaign as third-choice behind Luís Maximiano and Fernando as they suffered relegation, and left the club in July 2024.[21]

Granada

edit

On 10 September 2024, Mariño signed a one-year deal with Granada CF in the second division.[22]

International career

edit

Mariño won his first cap for the Spain under-21 team in 2011. Also that year, he was selected by manager Luis Milla for his UEFA European Championship squad; in the tournament in Denmark, he was a backup to Atlético Madrid's David de Gea as the nation won its third title in the category.[23]

The following year, Mariño repeated the role for the under-23 side[24] in a group-stage exit at the Summer Olympic Games in Great Britain.
