Marc Valiente Hernández (born 29 March 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender.
He was formed at Barcelona and later joined Sevilla, but was mainly a reserve at both clubs. In 2010 he signed with Valladolid, where he appeared in 157 official games over a five-year span. He went on to play top-flight football in Israel, Belgium, Serbia and India.

In July 2008, after some turbulence regarding his future, Valiente moved to Sevilla FC after being released by the Blaugrana.[4] He spent his first professional season with the Andalusians' reserves, starting most of the year in a relegation from the Segunda División.[5]
On 21 November 2009, injuries to the first squad, mostly Federico Fazio, granted Valiente his first La Liga opportunity, as he started in the 2–1 away win against CD Tenerife.[6] He appeared in two more games during the campaign – replacing injured Adriano before the 30-minute mark of the 1–0 win at Sporting de Gijón,[7] and playing the first half away to eventual champions Barcelona (0–0 at halftime, 4–0 defeat)[8]– being released by Sevilla in June 2010 and signing for three years with Real Valladolid, recently relegated to the second division.[9]
Valiente scored his first goal as a professional on 19 September 2010, but in a 2–1 away loss to Real Betis.[10] He contributed 33 games, nearly 3,000 minutes of action and one goal[11] in his second year, as the Castile and León side returned to the top flight after a two-year absence.
On 2 July 2015, Valiente moved abroad for the first time, signing a three-year deal with Israel's Maccabi Haifa F.C. for an annual wage of €350,000. Valladolid received €250,000 from his sale.[12] He was one of a contingent of Spanish players in the relatively obscure Israeli Premier League, receiving media attention back home.[13][14][15]
After two seasons in the
Valiente moved to the Serbian SuperLiga on 26 June 2018, after agreeing to a two-year deal at FK Partizan.[18] He joined the squad the next day,[19] being given the number 6 jersey[20] and in the process becoming the first Spaniard in their history.[21]
On 25 July 2019, Valiente returned to Spain by signing a two-year contract with Sporting de Gijón of the second tier.[22] Days after its expiration, it was renewed for another year.[23]
In June 2022, aged 35, Valiente moved to the Indian Super League with FC Goa, managed by his compatriot Carlos Peña.[24]
