Club career

[edit | edit source]

Martínez was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava.[2] After beginning his career at his hometown club Deportivo Alavés, in the Segunda División and Segunda División B, he moved to Basque neighbours Athletic Bilbao on 26 May 2010, for 200,000 and a three-year contract;[3][4] he was initially assigned to the reserves also in the third tier.[5]

On 18 September 2010, Martínez made his official debut with the first team, starting and playing 70 minutes in a 2–2 away draw against Sporting de Gijón.[6] He only totalled ten La Liga matches in his first two seasons, however.[7]

Martínez scored his only goal for Athletic on 30 August 2012, in a game at HJK Helsinki in the play-off round of the UEFA Europa League, closing the 3–3 draw (9–3 aggregate win).[8][2] Released in June 2013, he resumed his career in the second level with CD Mirandés and CD Lugo.[9]

Subsequently, Martínez represented Mirandés,[10] UD Melilla[11] and Real Balompédica Linense, with all the sides competing in the third division.[12] He announced his retirement on 6 October 2020 aged 31, due to a foot injury.[13]
