Club career

[edit]

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Martínez was a FC Barcelona youth graduate. On 20 July 2009, he signed for Racing de Santander and was immediately assigned to the reserves in the Segunda División B.[2]

Martínez made his senior debut on 1 November 2009, in a 3–1 away loss against Atlético Madrid B.[3] Third-choice behind Mario Fernández and Pablo Gómez, he only appeared in five matches during the season, which ended in relegation.

On 4 July 2011, Martínez agreed to a contract with another reserve team, Deportivo Fabril of Tercera División.[4] Two years later, the free agent joined Elche CF's B side;[5] he left the latter club in January 2014,[6] and returned to the former as understudy to Fabri due to Germán Lux's injury.[7]

Martínez remained in the third division the following years, representing UD Logroñés,[8] UD Somozas,[9] CD Alcoyano,[10] Recreativo de Huelva[11] and FC Cartagena.[12] He achieved promotion to Segunda División with the latter in 2020, following a penalty shootout win over CD Atlético Baleares.[13]

Martínez played his first professional game on 13 September 2020 at age 30, starting in a 0–0 draw at Real Oviedo.[14] He remained the undisputed starter under Luis Carrión[15] but, with the same manager still in charge, lost his place to Aarón Escandell in the 2022–23 campaign.[16]

On 28 January 2024, Martínez signed an 18-month deal with La Liga club Granada CF[17] for a reported fee of €150,000.[18] On 15 May, as they were already relegated as second-bottom, the 34-year-old made his first appearance in the competition, losing 2–1 away to Rayo Vallecano.[19][20]
