Club career

Blin was born in La Felguera, Langreo, Asturias, and was a Sporting de Gijón youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the reserves during the 1997–98 season, and went on to play several seasons in Segunda División B.

Blin made his debut with the main squad on 26 November 2000, starting in a 0–1 Segunda División home loss against Recreativo de Huelva. He became a regular first-team starter afterwards, contributing with 22 appearances as his side finished seventh.

In March 2006, Blin was officially dismissed by the club.
