Héctor Fabián Carini Hernández (born 26 December 1979 in Montevideo) is a Uruguayan football goalkeeper who plays for Sociedad Deportivo Quito in the Ecuadorian Serie A from Ecuador.^[1]

Career [edit]

Carini played for 3 seasons in Uruguayan club Danubio F.C., before signing with Italian club Juventus F.C. in 2000, where he spent two seasons and was used mainly as a substitute goalkeeper. During the summer of 2002, he nearly completed a loan move to Arsenal F.C., but at the last minute, the move fell through due to the player's wage demands.^[2] He moved instead to Standard Liège, where he spent 2 years on loan.

In 2004, Carini left Juventus for Internazionale, when he was exchanged for Fabio Cannavaro in a transfer which was worth €10 million.^[3] Despite being the first choice goalkeeper for his country, Carini was the third choice goalkeeper for Inter. After spending the 2005-06 season on loan at Cagliari, he went back at Inter, where he became the fourth goalkeeper behind Francesco Toldo, Júlio César and Paolo Orlandoni. Carini did not see a single minute of action over the next two years. Before the 2007-08 season, he moved to newly-promoted Spanish club Murcia to compete with incumbent first-choice goalkeeper Antonio Notario. The former player of Inter and Murcia, has signed a three-year deal with the Brazilian club Atlético Mineiro, arriving on a free transfer.^[4] Atlético Mineiro rescinded the contract to Fabián Carini, for what they will have to pay a fine to him. The Uruguayan goalkeeper had contract until 2011.

After an experience at Atletico Mineiro, 31 year old goalkeeper Fabian Carini has signed a one season deal for Peñarol.^[5]

International career [edit]

He played for the Uruguay national football team, which he represented at the 2007 Copa América. Carini made his debut for the national squad on June 17, 1999 in a friendly match (2-3 win) in Ciudad del Este against Paraguay.^[6]
