Career
[edit]Born in Valladolid, Castile and León, Maroto joined Real Valladolid's youth sides from CD Villa de Simancas. On 24 November 2020, he extended his contract with the former until 2024.[1]
Maroto made his senior debut with the reserves on 30 January 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Oriol Rey in a 3–1 Segunda División B away win over CD Covadonga.[2] He scored his first senior goal on 19 March 2023, netting the B's third in a 3–3 Segunda Federación home draw against CD Palencia Cristo Atlético.[3]
On 31 August 2023, Maroto was loaned to Primera Federación side Atlético Madrid B for the season.[4] Upon returning, he was assigned back at the B-team before making his professional – and La Liga – debut on 27 September 2024, replacing fellow youth graduate David Torres in a 2–1 home loss to RCD Mallorca.[5][6]
Definitely promoted to the first team of the Blanquivioletas for the 2025–26 campaign, Maroto scored his first professional goal on 13 September 2025, netting his side's third in a 3–1 home win over UD Almería.[7] The following 2 June, after being rarely used, the club announced his departure as his contract was due to expire,[8] and he signed for third division side UD Logroñés on 14 July 2026.[9]
