Football career
Born in Benidorm, Province of Alicante, Valencian Community, Mariano was a youth product of local Benidorm CF, making his senior debuts in the 2006–07 season, appearing rarely in Segunda División B. In July 2010 he signed with CA Osasuna, being assigned to the reserves also in the third level.
On 17 July 2012, Mariano joined another reserve team, Racing de Santander B still in division three. In July 2013 he was promoted to the main squad, freshly relegated to the same tier, and appeared in 33 matches all competitions comprised during the campaign scoring four goals (the most notable in a 2–0 win over La Liga club UD Almería for the Copa del Rey on 14 January 2014) as the Cantabrians returned to Segunda División at the first attempt.
Mariano played his first match as a professional on 30 August 2014, coming on as a substitute for Borja Granero in the 55th minute of the home fixture against CD Mirandés and netting six minutes later, but in an eventual 1–2 loss.
