[edit] Club career
Having starting playing professionally with hometown RCD Mallorca, making his first team debuts at 25, in 1999–2000 (one match, one minute), Martí switched the following season to the Canary Islands, joining CD Tenerife, being instrumental in the team's promotion to La Liga.
After Tenerife's relegation, Martí joined Sevilla FC in July 2003, and would become a regular in the Andalusian side's exploits in the subsequent years. For instance, as the club won back-to-back UEFA Cups, he appeared in 24 matches combined, netting twice (both through penalties).
In May 2007, Martí extended his contract with Sevilla until 2010.[1] However, having lost his importance in 2007–08, he was loaned to second division team Real Sociedad in January 2008, as the Basque side ultimately failed to return to the first level.[2]
33-year old Martí returned to Real Mallorca in July 2008, being an undisputed starter in the first season upon his return, and the following, when the Balearic Islands club was edged in the last matchday for the final berth for the UEFA Champions League, precisely by former side Sevilla. Again from the penalty spot, he scored his only goal of the season, at Sporting de Gijón, on 4 October 2009 (1–4 defeat).[3]
