Club career edit

Born in Cornellà de Llobregat, Barcelona, Catalonia, Miño moved to FC Barcelona's youth system, La Masia, at the age of 11. Four years later, he served a two-season loan at local UE Cornellà in the regional leagues.[3]

In 2008, Miño returned as starter of Barça's reserves, as they had just returned to the Segunda División B under young manager Pep Guardiola. He made his official debut against SCR Santa Eulàlia on 31 August of that year (1–0 away loss).[4]

On 13 August 2010, due to an injury to José Manuel Pinto and the need to rest Víctor Valdés, Miño was included in the nineteen-man Barcelona squad to face Sevilla FC in the Supercopa de España;[5] on 14 August, he played the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 away defeat.[6][7]

Miño totalled 25 Segunda División games over two full seasons with the B's. On 5 July 2012, he left Barcelona and signed for fellow La Liga club RCD Mallorca.[8] He made his debut in the competition on 18 January 2013, featuring 30 minutes in the 3–2 loss at RCD Espanyol after coming on as a substitute for the injured Dudu Aouate.[9]

On 2 July 2015, after featuring only six times during the campaign, Miño signed a one-year contract with Real Oviedo, newly promoted to the second division.[10] On 4 December 2017, after one year in the Cypriot First Division with AEK Larnaca FC, he joined Spanish second-tier team Albacete Balompié until the following 30 June.[11]

In January 2019, free agent Miño moved to FC Politehnica Iași of the Romanian Liga I.[12] He returned to his homeland shortly after, agreeing to a deal at UD Logroñés.[13] With the latter side, as the 2019–20 season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he achieved a first-ever promotion to division two,[14] notably earning player of the match accolades in the 3–2 penalty shoot-out victory over CD Castellón in the play-offs.[15]

Miño signed for CF Talavera de la Reina of the Primera División RFEF in August 2021.[16] He continued competing at that level the following seasons, with Algeciras CF and Cornellà.[17]

International career edit

On 6 February 2009, Miño received his first call-up for the Spain under-21 team. The first of his two caps arrived on 27 March of that year, in a 2–1 friendly defeat to the Republic of Ireland.[18]
