Club career edit
Born in Odivelas, Lisbon District, Martins played youth football for three local clubs, including Sporting CP from ages 12 to 18. He competed solely in the lower leagues in his country, starting out at Casa Pia A.C. in the 2008–09 season.[2]
In June 2013, Martins signed for S. League side Tampines Rovers FC from Real SC, being joined in the adventure by his compatriots Diogo Caramelo and Vítor Ladeiras.[3] He soon picked up an injury and, at the end of the campaign, which ended with championship conquest,[4] returned to Portugal and its third division.[5]
