Martínez started his career in 2004 with Deportivo Morón of Primera B Metropolitana, remaining for five years whilst scoring two goals in eighty-two fixtures.[2] 2009 saw the defender agree to join Acassuso, which was followed by a stint with Flandria a year later.[1] On 1 August 2011, Martínez joined Argentine Primera División side Tigre.[1] He failed to make a league appearance throughout 2011–12, but did feature four times in the club's run to the Copa Argentina quarter-finals; where they lost 2–1 to Deportivo Merlo, with Martínez netting their only goal.[1] He was also on the bench for their 2012 Copa Sudamericana finals second leg loss to São Paulo.[1]

In June 2013, having been selected for six Primera División fixtures in 2012–13 for Tigre, Martínez completed a move to Tristán Suárez.[1] He scored his first goal in his third match for them versus Estudiantes on 29 September.[1] Martínez left in June 2014, with spells subsequently arriving with Colegiales and Fénix in the following two years before he sealed a return to former club Deportivo Morón ahead of the 2016–17 Primera B Metropolitana; which they ended as champions, Martínez featured twenty-five times.[1][3][4]
