Mario Junior Rondón Fernández (born 26 March 1986) is a Venezuelan footballer who plays for Chinese club Shijiazhuang Ever Bright F.C. as a striker.

Club career

Born in Caracas, Rondón arrived in Portugal at age 18, finishing his junior career with A.D. Pontassolense. He then proceeded to play a further four seasons with the third division side.

After scoring 11 goals in his last year, Rondón moved straight into the Primeira Liga after signing with F.C. Paços de Ferreira in the 2009 summer. Rarely used in his debut season he finished it on loan to second level's S.C. Beira-Mar, featuring relatively as the Aveiro team returned to the main category after a three-year absence.

Rondón returned to Paços for 2010–11. In the first game of the season, against Sporting Clube de Portugal on 14 August, he scored the only goal for a home win,[1] eventually finishing as the club's top scorer with nine league goals and adding four in the campaign's Portuguese League Cup, where his team reached the final against S.L. Benfica (1–2 loss).[2]

On 14 July 2011 Rondón joined C.D. Nacional on a five-year contract, for an undisclosed fee.[3] He scored a career-best 12 goals in 30 games in his third year, helping the Madeirans to the playoff round of the UEFA Europa League.

On 28 February 2015, Rondón transferred to Chinese Super League newcomer Shijiazhuang Ever Bright FC.[4] He scored the club's first-ever goal in the competition on 9 March, but in a 1–2 loss at Guangzhou Evergrande FC.[5]

International career

Rondón gained his first cap for Venezuela on 25 March 2011, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Alejandro Moreno in a 2–0 friendly away win over Jamaica. He scored his first goal in another exhibition match, a 1–3 loss in South Korea on 5 September 2014.[6]
