Career

Martyn in action against his home-town club, Sligo Rovers, during the 2006 season.

Martyn played with Derry City since 2002 until his loan move to Fredrikstad F.K. in 2007. He is one of the few players (if not the only one) who have paid to play for Derry. Having signed a pre-contract with Shelbourne a number of seasons ago, he changed his mind and was forced to pay £8,000 in order to escape the agreement. An attacking midfielder with an eye for goal, the Sligo man moved to Derry in order to show his commitment to the club. In November 2006 he made his 200th appearance for the club when he was brought on as a 60th-minute substitute against Cork City FC in the Brandywell. This made him the 16th player to reach this mile-stone since Derry's inception to the League of Ireland in 1985. He finished the 2006 season as Derry's second-highest scorer with 15 goals scored in total. This tally included 8 goals scored in the Premier Division and another 7 scored in the in the cup competitions.

Signed from UCD by Kevin Mahon, Martyn has played at numerous under-age levels for the Republic of Ireland.

On 31 March, 2007, Martyn signed an agreement to be hired out to Norwegian top division team Fredrikstad F.K. until July, 2007.[1]
