Career
editBorn in El Entrego, Asturias, Martínez joined Sporting de Gijón's youth sides at the age of seven, from Alcázar CF.[1] He left the club after seven seasons, and subsequently played for SD Llano 2000 and CD Arenal before agreeing to a deal with UD Almería in April 2022.[2]
On 20 July 2023, after finishing his formation, Martínez returned to Sporting and was initially assigned to the C-team in Primera Asturfútbol.[3] An undisputed starter for the C's, he also featured with the reserves in Tercera Federación during the campaign.
Martínez made his first team debut with the Rojiblancos on 24 August 2024, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Guille Rosas in a 0–0 Segunda División home draw against CD Eldense.[4][5]
