Football career

After first appearing as a professional in the 2003–04 season with UD Las Palmas in Segunda División, Martín switched to Segunda División B, achieving promotion with Real Madrid's reserves Real Madrid Castilla. On 6 December 2005 he played his first and only official game with the latter's first team, featuring the second half of a 1–2 away loss against Olympiacos F.C. for the campaign's UEFA Champions League after coming on as a substitute for another cantera product, Javier Balboa.[1]

From 2006 to 2008, Martín had second level stints with Real Murcia and Xerez CD (the latter on loan), where he was rarely used. In July 2008 he signed with Levante UD also in that tier,[2] and subsequently resumed his career in division three.
