Club career
After starting his career in Gibraltar with Lincoln Red Imps, Mauro moved across the border in 2020 to join Atlético Zabal, part of the youth system at Real Balompédica Linense. After short spells at Algeciras and back at Atlético Zabal, Mauro joined the academy of Cádiz in June 2024.[1] His performances led to him being promoted to the senior C team, also known as Balón de Cádiz, midway through the season, making his debut in the División de Honor Andaluza on 26 January 2025 against Castilleja, replacing compatriot Joachim Ostheider.[2]
After breaking into the Balón de Cádiz side and making 23 appearances in the 2025–26 season, Mauro moved to England and joined Boston United on 25 June 2026.[3]
International career
Eligible for Gibraltar and Spain,[4] Mauro has played for Gibraltar at all age groups from under-15 to under-21 level. He received his first senior callup in March 2024 against Lithuania, but did not play.[5] He made his debut on 25 March 2025 against Czechia.
