Joaquín José Marín Ruiz (born 24 September 1989), known as Quini (), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back.
Club career Born in Fernán Núñez, Córdoba, Quini spent his first years as a senior competing in amateur football, as a striker. In the 2011–12 season he made his debut as a professional, appearing and scoring regularly for local Lucena CF in the Segunda División B, now playing as a winger.
