Club career

Early career

Martín initiated his career with Itzaes, an amateur football team from his hometown of Merida, Yucatán. During his time there, he played in 13 matches and netted 6 goals. Soon after, he was signed by Venados. Martín made his professional debut on July 13, 2013 in a match against Delfines del Carmen, where he came on as a substitute in the last seconds of the match. On August 24, he scored his first professional goal against Zacatepec in a 2-0 win.

Tijuana

Martín joined Club Tijuana for the Apertura 2014 season, making his Liga MX debut against América on July 26, 2014.[4] He scored his first goal for the club three days later in a Copa MX match against Zacatepec, where Tijuana won 3–1. In March 2016, Martín faced an anterior cruciate ligament injury that kept him off the field for six months.

América

On 13 December 2017, Martín joined Club América.[5] On 7 January 2018, he made his debut scoring in a 1–0 away win against Querétaro.[6] On 3 February, Martín scored his first career hat-trick in a 5–1 win over Lobos BUAP.[7]

International career

Martín in 2018

On 30 August 2015, Martín received his first call-up by interim head coach Ricardo Ferretti to replace the injured Oribe Peralta.[8] He earned his first cap with Mexico on 4 September in a friendly match against Trinidad and Tobago, playing as starter and eventually subbed-out for Raúl Jiménez in the 59th minute of the match.[9]

On 11 October 2018, Martín scored his first goal for Mexico in their 3–2 win over Costa Rica.[10]

Martín was called up by Jaime Lozano as one of three over-age reinforcements for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. He won the bronze medal with the Olympic team.[11]

In October 2022, Martín was named in Mexico's preliminary 31-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and in November, he was ultimately included in the final 26-man roster.[12] In Mexico's third match at the tournament on November 30, Martín scored a goal against Saudi Arabia, but Mexico failed to progress on goal difference.[13]

In June 2023, Martín was named to Mexico's 23-man squad for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[14]
