Club career

Born in Aguadulce, Seville, Andalusia, Martín joined Córdoba CF's youth setup in 2016, from Antequera CF. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 20 August 2017, playing the last six minutes in a 1–2 Segunda División B away loss against Extremadura UD.

Martín scored his first senior goal on 1 November 2017, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Real Balompédica Linense. The following 21 June, after featuring regularly for the B-team during the campaign, he extended his contract with the club,[1] and featured with the main squad during the whole pre-season.

Martín made his professional debut on 9 September 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute for Alejandro Alfaro in a 0–0 home draw against AD Alcorcón for the Segunda División championship.[2] Three days later he scored his first professional goal, netting the opener in a 2–0 home win against Gimnàstic de Tarragona, for the season's Copa del Rey.[3]

On 26 June 2019, after suffering relegation, Martín signed a five-year contract with Rayo Vallecano, now also in the second division.[4]
