Club career edit

Born in A Coruña, Galicia, Martínez joined CD Lugo's youth setup in 2018, after representing Orillamar SD and Atlético Coruña Montañeros CF.[1] He was promoted to the farm team in Tercera División ahead of the 2019–20 season,[2] and made his senior debut on 25 August 2019 by coming on as a second-half substitute for Chiqui in a 1–0 away loss against Arosa SC.

On 9 August 2021, Martínez was loaned to Segunda División RFEF side CF La Nucía for the campaign.[3] The following 27 January, after being rarely used, he moved to fellow league team Bergantiños CF also in a temporary deal.[4]

Back to Lugo and its B-side for 2022–23, Martínez made his first team debut on 24 March 2023, replacing Pablo Clavería late into a 2–0 Segunda División away loss against FC Cartagena.[5]
