Club career
Real Madrid and Mirandés
Born in Madrid, Martínez joined Real Madrid's youth system in 2002, aged 12.[2] In 2009–10, he made his senior debut with the C team, being promoted to the reserves the following season but featuring in only eight matches.
In the 2011–12 campaign, Martínez once again received very few opportunities, being loaned to fellow Segunda División B club CD Mirandés in January 2012.[3] In July, as both sides achieved promotion, he returned to Castilla.[4]
In January 2013, having failed to appear for Real B in the Segunda División, Martínez returned to Mirandés also on loan.[5] He played his first game in that league on 23 February, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 away loss against Racing de Santander.[6]
Alcorcón
Martínez signed a one-year contract with fellow second-tier AD Alcorcón on 30 August 2013.[7] He scored his first professional goal on 10 September, the second in the 4–1 away win over RCD Mallorca in the second round of the Copa del Rey.[8]
On 2 July 2014, Martínez agreed to a new three-year deal with the Madrid side.[9] He scored a brace on 25 January 2015, but in a 3–2 defeat at Albacete Balompié.[10]
Later career
On 1 July 2016, after a six-month loan spell at CD Numancia,[11] Martínez cut ties with Alcorcón[12] and joined Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[13] In November 2022, following his retirement, the 32-year-old returned to the latter as assistant to the technical secretary.[14]
