[edit]

Marín was born in the Calderón Guardia Hospital in San José, Costa Rica and grew up in Concepción de Tres Ríos.[2] He made his professional debut for Carmelita on 13 September 1992 against Alajuelense,[3] before moving to Alajuelense themselves. In 1998, he moved abroad to play for Guatemalan side USAC alongside compatriots Try Bennett and Benjamín Mayorga[4] and in 1999 he played in Uruguay for River Plate.[5] In 2000, he returned to Alajuelense.

In 2006, Marín left Liga for another spell abroad, moving to Israeli outfit Maccabi Netanya.[6] After 3 seasons with Netanya, winning a total of 113 caps, scoring 2 goals in all club competitions and becoming a fan favorite earning the nickname "superman", Marin left the club in summer 2009 for a final spell at Alajuelense.[7] He announced his retirement in April 2011.[3]
