Marc Marino (born 30 April 1996) is a professional soccer player from Australia who occupies the position of centre forward at National Premier Leagues side Campbelltown City.
Career
Hailing from Adelaide, Marino first attracted nationwide recognition when he was recruited by the Australian Institute of Sport to compete in the National Youth League during the 2012–13 campaign. He netted six goals in his debut season and improved to eight goals in the following year, which earned him a two-week training opportunity with Adelaide United in August 2013. Despite not securing a contract, he returned to AIS before eventually signing with Melbourne City on 18 August 2014.
Marino made his professional debut on 11 October 2014 as a substitute against Sydney FC, and scored his first goal in the subsequent fixture facing Brisbane Roar. On 4 September 2015, during a pre-season match, he sustained a significant knee injury shortly after scoring the opening goal. Melbourne City released him from their roster on 28 April 2016.
On 23 May 2016, Marino committed to his hometown team, Adelaide United. Following the conclusion of the 2016–17 season and the expiration of his contract, he returned to play for Campbelltown City, but later participated in pre-season training with Adelaide United under the guidance of coach Marco Kurz.
