Goran Marić Govorcin (Serbian Cyrillic: Горан Mapић; born 23 March 1984) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a striker.
He spent most of his career in Spain, almost exclusively in the lower leagues with Celta de Vigo B.
Born in Novi Sad, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Marić moved to Spain in his teens, going on to play for three different clubs as a youth, including FC Barcelona and Celta de Vigo. He made his senior debuts with the latter's reserve team and scored regularly for the Segunda División B club, notably netting 21 goals in 32 games in the 2007–08 season (best in his group, second overall); however, he only appeared once for the main squad in Segunda División, his output consisting of 30 minutes in a 1–2 home loss against CD Castellón on 2 February 2008.
In 2008–09, Marić was loaned to another club in the third level, FC Barcelona B. In June 2009, he was released by the Galicians.
Marić joined Norwich City on trial in the summer of 2009, touring with the club during its pre-season in Scotland and scoring twice in three games, against Airdrie United and St Johnstone. Afterwards, manager Bryan Gunn confirmed he had been impressed well enough to offer the player a contract, with the one-year deal being signed on 30 July.
