Mauro played in the youth department of Lyra until in 2007, where he was included in the Germinal Beerschot academy. In 2008, he signed his first professional deal; a four-year contract.[2] On 8 May 2009, Mauro made his debut in the first team on the penultimate matchday of the 2008–09 season, coming off the bench in the 73rd minute for Paul Kpaka in a 3–1 home victory against Mechelen.[3]

The following two seasons, Mauro played on loan for Turnhout. In the 2011–12 season he returned to Beerschot, but was loaned out to KV Turnhout for another six months.[4] At the end of the following season he left for Sint-Niklaas.[5]

Later career

In July 2014, Mauro signed with Hoogstraten. From the 2016–17 season he began playing for Berchem.[6] In January 2021 he moved to Londerzeel.[7] He left the club in late 2022 for personal reasons, and instead joined KRC Mechelen from January 2023.[8]
