Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Martín initiated his career with Itzaes, an amateur football team from his hometown of Merida, Yucatán. During his time there, he played in 13 matches and netted 6 goals. Soon after, he was signed by Venados. Martín made his professional debut on July 13, 2013 in a match against Delfines del Carmen, where he came on as a substitute in the last seconds of the match. On August 24, he scored his first professional goal against Zacatepec in a 2-0 win.

Tijuana

[edit]

Martín joined Club Tijuana for the Apertura 2014 season, making his Liga MX debut against América on July 26, 2014.[4] He scored his first goal for the club three days later in a Copa MX match against Zacatepec, where Tijuana won 3–1. In March 2016, Martín faced an anterior cruciate ligament injury that kept him off the field for six months.

América

[edit]

On 13 December 2017, Martín joined Club América.[5] On 7 January 2018, he made his debut scoring in a 1–0 away win against Querétaro.[6] On 3 February, Martín scored his first career hat-trick in a 5–1 win over Lobos BUAP.[7]

International career

[edit]
Martín in 2018

On 30 August 2015, Martín received his first call-up by interim head coach Ricardo Ferretti to replace the injured Oribe Peralta.[8] He earned his first cap with Mexico on 4 September in a friendly match against Trinidad and Tobago, playing as starter and eventually subbed-out for Raúl Jiménez in the 59th minute of the match.[9]

On 11 October 2018, Martín scored his first goal for Mexico in their 3–2 win over Costa Rica.[10]

Martín was called up by Jaime Lozano as one of three over-age reinforcements for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. He won the bronze medal with the Olympic team.[11]

In October 2022, Martín was named in Mexico's preliminary 31-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and in November, he was ultimately included in the final 26-man roster.[12] In Mexico's third match at the tournament on November 30, Martín scored a goal against Saudi Arabia, but Mexico failed to progress on goal difference.[13]

In June 2023, Martín was named to Mexico's 23-man squad for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[14]

Personal life

[edit]

Henry's older brother, Freddy, was also a professional footballer who played as a forward.[15]
