Rodrigo Gastón Mieres Pérez is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a defender for La Luz.

Club career

Mieres' career began in his homeland with Defensor Sporting of the Primera División. He made his bow on 25 April against Montevideo Wanderers, which turned out to be his sole match for the club. Mieres spend the 2010–11 season out on loan with Rentistas, featuring twelve times. Brazil's Toledo completed the loan signing of Mieres on 9 January 2013. He scored on his starting debut in the Campeonato Paranaense, netting the winner in a 2–1 victory over Arapongas in March. A total of eight appearances arrived with Toledo. He returned to Uruguay later that year, subsequently joining top-flight Sud América.
Having scored one goal in thirteen fixtures for Sud América in the 2013–14 season, Mieres was loaned to Ecuadorian Serie A team Deportivo Cuenca in January 2014. Twelve months later, Primera B Nacional's Atlético Tucumán of Argentina done likewise. He played full seasons for both sides, scoring against Liga de Loja and Sportivo Belgrano respectively, as he notably won the league title, and subsequent promotion, with Atlético Tucumán. Mieres went back to Uruguay in early 2016 with Sud América, but soon sealed a return to Argentina after agreeing a move to Central Córdoba in July.
Central Córdoba suffered relegation from the 2016–17 Primera B Nacional, though Mieres stayed in the second tier after being signed by Quilmes - a team just relegated from the Primera División. A sixty-two minute appearance against Juventud Unida was the defender's only feature in the 2017–18 campaign, after suffering a knee ligament injury in the match.
