He represented clubs in Spain, Thailand and China during his professional career, mainly Buriram United where he won several accolades.

Spanish-born, Patiño made his debut for the Filipino national team in 2013.

Early life

Patiño was born in San Sebastián de los Reyes, Community of Madrid, to a Spanish father and a Filipino mother from Dumanjug, Cebu.[2][3]

Club career

Córdoba

Patiño played his first four seasons as a senior in amateur football, representing local clubs Alcobendas CF and UD San Sebastián de los Reyes. In summer 2011 he moved straight to the second division, signing a three-year contract with Córdoba CF.[4]

In his first year with the Andalusians, Patiño scored eight goals in 35 games, notably netting the games' only goal against SD Huesca (away),[5] UD Las Palmas (home)[6] and Recreativo de Huelva (away).[7] On the last day of the January 2013 transfer window, he was loaned to fellow league side Xerez CD until the end of the season.[8]

Buriram

Patiño terminated his contract with Córdoba on 9 March 2013, joining Buriram United F.C. of the Thai Premier League shortly after.[9] He marked his debut for his new team with a brace of goals in their 6–1 thrashing of Songkhla United FC.[10]

Henan Jianye

On 21 January 2015, Patiño transferred to Chinese Super League club Henan Jianye FC.[11] He scored twice on his debut on 8 March, helping his team to a 3–1 home win against Tianjin Teda FC.[12]

On 20 February 2018, as he was nursing a knee injury, Patiño was released and Henan refused to pay him his due wages.[13]

Return to Buriram

In April 2018, Patiño returned to Buriram United.[14]

International career

Juani [Guirado] told me it would be a good experience. My mother was very emotional. It's always been her hope that we reconnect with family and relatives who we haven't seen for a long time. What I learn in Spain I will try to impart to the team. I didn't imagine [joining the Philippines national team] last year, but I'm here to help.

— Patiño, on his decision to play for the Philippines[15]

The Philippine Football Federation were reportedly notified of Patiño through Juan Luis Guirado, who was also born in Spain and an international footballer for the Philippines. In late 2012, he was reported to be applying for Filipino citizenship to open the possibility of playing international football for that country.[16] He successfully obtained his Filipino passport just in time for the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup qualification tournament which took place from 24 to 26 March 2013 in Manila, and made it into the final 23-man squad,[17] also receiving compliments from national team head coach Michael Weiß, who stated, "Patiño is definitely a top player but it is a team sport and it takes time to connect with the other player. We should give him time, we know that we can expect something but perhaps not the best yet".[17]

Patiño made his debut on 24 March 2013 in the opening game of the Challenge Cup qualifying campaign, scoring twice in an 8–0 win against Cambodia.[18] Two days later, against Turkmenistan, he again played the full 90 minutes, helping his team win 1–0 as they qualified for the finals.[19]

Patiño would not appear for the Philippines until March the following year, where they lost 0–1 to Azerbaijan in a friendly match.[20][21] It was part of the national team's preparations for the AFC Challenge Cup which he was not able to take part in due to not being released by his club, as the tournament was not part of FIFA's international match calendar; later that year, he would also miss out on 2014 AFF Championship as he had to undergo back surgery.[22]

gollark: If you buy an Apple product, then as well as rather high-markup unrepairable/unupgradeable hardware (which often has really stupid flaws), you get their software.
gollark: I've heard that their support and warranty is not actually very good unless you pay even more.
