Mario Barco Vilar (born 23 December 1992) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for I-League club Inter Kashi.
Born in Estella-Lizarra, Navarre, Barco finished his formation with CD Calahorra, after representing Peña Sport FC and Athletic Bilbao.[1] He made his senior debuts with the former in the 2011–12 campaign, scoring 20 goals in Tercera División.
In August 2012 Barco signed for UD Logroñés in Segunda División B, after impressing in a trial basis.[2] On 10 July of the following year he returned to the Lions, being assigned to the reserves also in the third level.[3] [4]
On 28 January 2015 Barco rescinded his contract,[5] and moved to fellow league team Barakaldo CF hours later.[6] On 5 July he signed a three-year deal with CD Lugo in Segunda División,[7] but was loaned to UD Somozas on 10 August.[8]
On 8 August 2016 Barco joined Pontevedra CF in the third tier, also in a temporary deal.[9] He scored 12 goals for the club during the campaign, but missed the play-offs due to injury.
Barco made his professional debut on 12 October 2017, coming on as a substitute for Francisco Fydriszewski and scoring the last in a 2–0 home win against Córdoba CF.[10] The following 25 June, he signed a three-year contract with Cádiz CF also in the second division.[11]
On 23 July 2019, after being rarely used, Barco terminated his contract with the Andalusians,[12] and joined fellow second division side CD Mirandés on a two-year deal the following day.[13] After two years used mainly as a substitute, he moved to Primera División RFEF side CD Castellón on 21 July 2021.[14]
On 8 September 2023, Barco signed for newly formed I-League club Inter Kashi[15]
