Club career
Having moved to Spain in his teens, Merino played youth football with FC Barcelona (only one year) and RCD Mallorca. He made his senior debuts with the latter's reserves, in Segunda División B.
In January 2003 Merino moved to Atlético Malagueño, being an important midfielder element as Málaga CF's B team retained its newly acquired Segunda División status, with the player having contributed with 20 games and five goals to the promotion (playoffs included). Subsequently, he moved to Switzerland and joined Servette FC but, with the club facing bankruptcy, left in the following transfer window and signed for Ciudad de Murcia – also in Spain's second level – alongside teammate João Paulo Daniel.
Merino was signed by Atromitos F.C. in January 2006, from fellow Greek side Akratitos FC.[1] In February 2009, after two full seasons and two halves, he changed teams (and countries) again, joining Salernitana Calcio 1919 in Italy.
On 8 January 2011 Merino signed with Al Nasr Sporting Club of the Kuwaiti Premier League, on loan from Salernitana.[2] Less than one month after, however, he left the Asian club;[3] according to the player, he decided to leave because he didn't feel comfortable, and he had other objectives for his football career.[4]
On 28 February 2011, Merino signed a half-season contract with newly promoted team Unión Comercio.[5] At almost 29, this marked the first time he would be playing in the Peruvian Primera División; he stated the his main reason for joining was to earn a regular starting spot on the Peruvian national team.[6]
International career
Merino represented Spain at under-18 level, having already spent several years living in the country.
As a senior he decided to play for Peru, making his official on 7 June 2009 in a 1–2 home loss against Ecuador for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
