Rodrigo Gastón Mieres Pérez (born 19 April 1989) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a defender for C.A. Progreso.[2]

Club career[edit]

Mieres' career began in his homeland with Defensor Sporting of the Primera División.[2] He made his bow on 25 April against Montevideo Wanderers, which turned out to be his sole match for the club.[2] Mieres spend the 2010–11 season out on loan with Rentistas, featuring twelve times.[2][3] Brazil's Toledo completed the loan signing of Mieres on 9 January 2013.[2] He scored on his starting debut in the Campeonato Paranaense, netting the winner in a 2–1 victory over Arapongas in March.[2] A total of eight appearances arrived with Toledo.[2] He returned to Uruguay later that year, subsequently joining top-flight Sud América.[2]

Having scored one goal in thirteen fixtures for Sud América in the 2013–14 season, Mieres was loaned to Ecuadorian Serie A team Deportivo Cuenca in January 2014.[2][4][5] Twelve months later, Primera B Nacional's Atlético Tucumán of Argentina done likewise.[2][6][7] He played full seasons for both sides, scoring against Liga de Loja and Sportivo Belgrano respectively, as he notably won the league title, and subsequent promotion, with Atlético Tucumán.[2] Mieres went back to Uruguay in early 2016 with Sud América, but soon sealed a return to Argentina after agreeing a move to Central Córdoba in July.[2][8]

Central Córdoba suffered relegation from the 2016–17 Primera B Nacional, though Mieres stayed in the second tier after being signed by Quilmes - a team just relegated from the Primera División.[2] A sixty-two minute appearance against Juventud Unida was the defender's only feature in the 2017–18 campaign, after suffering a knee ligament injury in the match.[2][9][10]

International career[edit]

Mieres was selected by Uruguay for the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt, though didn't make an appearance as they were eliminated in the round of sixteen by Brazil.[11] A year previous, Mieres was selected for the L'Alcúdia International Tournament.[12]
