Joaquín José Marín Ruiz (born 24 September 1989), known as Quini (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkini]), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Super League Greece club Olympiacos.

Club career

Born in Fernán Núñez, Córdoba, Quini spent his first years as a senior competing in amateur football, as a striker. In the 2011–12 season he made his debut as a professional, appearing and scoring regularly for local Lucena CF in the Segunda División B, now playing as a winger.[2]

Quini joined Real Madrid Castilla of Segunda División on 12 June 2012, penning a two-year contract.[3][4] He made his league debut on 25 August, playing ten minutes in a 3–2 home win against FC Barcelona B.[5][6] He was also successfully reconverted as right-back by manager Manolo Díaz during the 2013–14 campaign.[7][8]

On 11 June 2014, Quini signed a three-year deal with La Liga club Rayo Vallecano.[9] He played his first match in the Spanish top flight on 25 August, featuring the entire 0–0 home draw with Atlético Madrid.[10]

Quini joined Granada CF for three seasons on 28 June 2017, after his contract expired.[11] He contributed 31 appearances and one goal in his second, in a return to the top tier as runners-up.[12]

Quini spent the vast majority of 2019–20 on the sidelines, due to a knee injury.[13] He achieved another promotion to the main division in 2023, totalling 31 games for the champions.[14]
