[edit] Club career
Martin, born in Nice, made his debut for Monaco in the 2005–06 Ligue 1 season, playing one game that year – a 2–2 draw with Nancy on 13 May 2006. In the 2007–08 season he made eight appearances.[2]
He was captain of the Monaco reserve team and in 2007 was picked out on the UEFA website as being a "name to note" for the future, after his performances for France under-19s at the 2007 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, held in Austria, when it was said of him: "Always looks composed on the ball and never seemed to give away possession in the engine room of a French side that at their best were as good as any in the tournament. Equally adept at passing short and long, he is also a free-kick specialist – witness his effort against Serbia."[3]
He was loaned out in the 2008–09 season to Ligue 2 side Nîmes Olympique.[4] He made his debut on 12 September in a 1–0 home loss to Tours.[5] He made a total of 14 appearances as Nîmes escaped relegation to the Championnat National by one point.
[edit] Blackpool
In July 2010 he went on trial with newly-promoted English Premier League side Blackpool, travelling with the squad to Devon to compete in the South West Challenge Cup pre-season tournament.[6] And in the Seasiders' first game in the competition on 20 July, a 2–1 win over Accrington Stanley, he was named "Man of the Match".[7]
On 11 August, Martin signed a one-year contract with Blackpool;[8][9] however, he failed to feature in the 2010–11 season. At the end of the same season he was released by Blackpool.
[edit] Middlesbrough
On 30 June 2011, Martin went on trial with Championship club Middlesbrough. He signed a one-year contract on 18 July. He made his competitive Middlesbrough debut against Leeds United in a 1-0 victory on 13 August 2011.[10] He scored his first Middlesbrough goal in a 3-1 win over Birmingham City on 21 August 2011.[11] Martin scored his second Boro goal of his Boro career on the 3rd December 2011, scoring a free-kick in the 90th minute in Middlesbrough's 1-0 win over Bristol City.[12]
