Club career

Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Martín began his professional career at local CD Tenerife, making his senior debut with their B team in the 2006–07 season, in the Tercera División. His first competitive appearance for the main squad took place on 30 August 2008, when he started a 3–2 Segunda División home win against Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[2]

Martín spent the following years in his native region, with Universidad de Las Palmas CF in the Segunda División B[3] and CD Marino (Tercera División). In summer 2012 he returned to Tenerife, now in the former tier,[4] achieving his second promotion with the club at the end of the campaign;[5][6] he scored his only goal in division two on 28 September 2014, closing the 3–2 home victory over UD Las Palmas.[7]

Until his retirement, Martín competed solely in the lower leagues, mainly with FC Cartagena.[8][9][10][11]
