Marc Marino (born 30 April 1996) is an Australian professional footballer who plays a centre forward for National Premier Leagues club Campbelltown City.
Career
Born in Adelaide, Marino first came to national prominence when he was signed up for the Australian Institute of Sport to play in the National Youth League for the 2012–13 season. Recording six goals in his first season and eight in his second, his first-year performances were good enough to earn him an invitation to train with Adelaide United for two weeks in August 2013.{{cite web |url=http://ffa.sportalhosting.com/adelaideunited/news-display/ais-additions-add-to-pre-season/72770 |title=AIS additions add to pre season |work=FFA |date=15 August 2013 |accessdate=11 October 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20141011212710/http://ffa.sportalhosting.com/adelaideunited/news-display/ais-additions-add-to-pre-season/72770 |archivedate=11 October 2014 }} A contract was not forthcoming, however, and after returning to AIS for his second season, he was instead signed up by Melbourne City on 18 August 2014.{{cite web |url=http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/announcement-retre-and-marino-sign-with-melbourne-city-fc/kmflgwex2scq1b5h772cvrtio |title=ANNOUNCEMENT: Melbourne City FC Sign Retre and Marino to Senior Deals |work=FFA |date=18 August 2014 |accessdate=11 October 2014 }}
Marino did not have to wait long for his senior debut, being brought on in the first league game of the season, a match against Sydney FC on 11 October 2014, replacing Mate Dugandzic in the 73rd minute.{{cite web |url=http://www.goalazo.com/sydney-fc-vs-melbourne-city-1-1-oct-11-2014/ |title=Sydney FC vs Melbourne City 1 – 1 : Oct 11, 2014 |work=goalazo.com |date=11 October 2014 |accessdate=11 October 2014 }} He scored in his next game against the Brisbane Roar.
Marc Marino sustained a serious knee injury on 4 September 2015 in a 5-0 pre-season win over North Geelong Warriors FC, a game in which he scored the opening goal. Marino was released by Melbourne City on 28 April 2016.{{cite web|title=Melbourne City FC Player Update|url=http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/melbourne-city-fc-player-update/1la72hvsa1u5w1qz9p857zri5t|website=Melbourne City FC|accessdate=28 April 2016|archive-date=4 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161104165901/http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/melbourne-city-fc-player-update/1la72hvsa1u5w1qz9p857zri5t|url-status=dead}}
