With the addition of Mario, Gangwon added weight to its side attack.

Mario grew up with the prestigious Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb youth team. He left for Croatia's Istra 1961 on loan in 2019 and stood out with seven goals and three assists in 18 league games. Mario, who returned to Dynamo Zagreb and scored two goals in 12 games, has been nestled in HSK Zrinsky Mostar (Bosnia Herzegovina) ahead of the start of the 2022-2023 season after passing through Lokomotiva Zagreb (Croatia) and SC Dnipro-1 (Ukraine).
