Club career
editMartínez's senior career began with UE Sant Julià in 2005, remaining with the Primera Divisió team until 2006 when the midfielder agreed to join Andorran-based Spanish Tercera Catalana side FC Andorra.[2] Martínez spent the 2007–08 Primera Divisió season back with Sant Julià, prior to returning to Spain with FC Andorra for the following campaign.[2] This spell with the club lasted five years, with Martínez netting twelve goals in one hundred and twenty-six appearances.[2] He rejoined Sant Julià for a third time in 2013, subsequently winning the Copa Constitució in his sole season there.[2] Martínez spent the next three years with FC Santa Coloma.[2]
After winning the league title in every season with FC Santa Coloma, Martínez was signed by fellow top-flight team Inter d'Escaldes in 2017.[2] Six matches and one goal followed.[2] Martínez returned to FC Andorra in 2018, with the club now in Primera Catalana.[2] In mid-2019, Martínez returned to Andorra with FC Ordino.[3] He appeared fifteen times in 2019–20 as they suffered relegation.[3]
While still an active player for FC Ordino, in June 2019, Inter d'Escaldes confirmed that Martínez, who had previously also been a youth coach at the club, had been hired as coordinator of the club's football school.[4] As of June 2024, Martínez still held this role.[5]
International career
editMartínez was called up by Andorra in 2007.[1][2] He made his debut on 28 March during a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifier with England, with his nation losing 0–3 at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys; he was subbed on for Manolo Jiménez Soria after sixty-nine minutes.[6][7]
