Villarreal

Born in Vigo, Galicia, Mariño played for Villarreal CF since the age of 14, having already represented four teams as a youth.

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