Rodrigo Tarín Higón (born 5 July 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender.
Barcelona
Born in Chiva, Valencian Community, Tarín joined FC Barcelona's youth categories in 2011, from Valencia CF.[1] On 18 September 2014, he renewed his contract until 2018,[2] and was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B the following July.
Tarín made his senior debut on 22 August 2015, starting in a 1–2 away loss against UE Cornellà.[3] He scored his first senior goal on 17 September of the following year, netting the winner in a 2–1 home success over CD Atlético Baleares;[4] in November, however, he suffered a knee injury which kept him out for six months.[5]
Tarín made his professional debut on 19 August 2017, starting in a 2–1 away win against Real Valladolid in the Segunda División.[6]
Leganés
On 27 June 2018, Tarín signed a three-year deal with La Liga side CD Leganés.[7] He made his debut in the main category of Spanish football on 26 September, starting in a 2–1 home defeat of former side Barcelona.[8][9]
In October 2020, shortly after relegation to the second tier, Tarín extended his contract with the Community of Madrid side until 2023.[10] On 31 January 2022, after being sparingly used, he terminated his contract with the club.[11]
Oviedo
On 31 January 2022, just hours after leaving Leganés, Tarín signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with fellow second division side Real Oviedo.[12] He suffered a knee injury in March 2023 which left him sidelined for the entire 2023–24 season,[13] and terminated his link on 19 July 2024.[14]
