Mario Martínez Rubio, known as simply Mario (born 25 March 1985 in Soria), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Colombian club Jaguares de Córdoba as a midfielder.
Football career
A product of hometown CD Numancia's youth system,[1] Mario first appeared with its first team during 2002–03's second division – two appearances – then played 34 matches scoring three goals in the 2007–08 season as the Soria team returned to La Liga after a three-year absence.
On 31 August 2008, four years after making his top flight debut, Mario netted the only goal as Numancia shock-defeated FC Barcelona at home.[2] It would be his only in the campaign, as the club was immediately relegated back.
After only 13 league games out of 42 in 2010–11 (one complete) 26-year-old Mario was released by Numancia, signing with Real Unión in the third level. He did not settle with any club or in any country in the following years, representing Olympiakos Nicosia, Baku FC, SD Tarazona[3] and Jaguares de Córdoba.[4]
