Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Martínez was a FC Barcelona youth graduate. On 20 July 2009, after finishing his formation, he signed for Racing de Santander and was immediately assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[1]

Martínez made his senior debut on 1 November 2009, starting in a 1–3 away loss against Atlético Madrid B. A third-choice behind Mario Fernández and Pablo Gómez, he only appeared in five matches during the campaign, which ended in relegation.

On 4 July 2011, Martínez agreed to a contract with another reserve team, Deportivo Fabril in Tercera División.[2] On 31 July 2013, after being a starter, he terminated his contract and moved to Elche CF's reserves,[3] but left the latter club the following 30 January[4] and subsequently returned to Dépor to work as Fabri's backup, due to Germán Lux's injury.[5]

Martínez continued to appear in the third division in the following years, representing UD Logroñés,[6] UD Somozas,[7] CD Alcoyano,[8] Recreativo de Huelva[9] and FC Cartagena,[10] achieving promotion to Segunda División with the latter in 2020.

Martínez made his professional debut at the age of 30 on 13 September 2020, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Real Oviedo.[11]
