Club career

Born in Sant Fost de Campsentelles, Barcelona, Catalonia, Martínez joined Barcelona's La Masia in 2012, from CF Martorelles.[1] After leaving Barça in 2016, he played for two years for Damm, before finishing his formation with Girona.[2]

Martínez made his senior debut with the reserves on 10 January 2021, playing the last 19 minutes of a 0–0 Tercera División home draw against Cerdanyola del Vallès.[3] He made his first team debut on 22 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Gerard Gumbau in a 0–0 home draw against Las Palmas in the Segunda División championship.[4]

On 13 July 2022, Martínez was loaned to Primera Federación side San Fernando for the season.[5] On 30 June of the following year, he moved to second division side Mirandés also in a temporary one-year deal.[6]

Martínez scored his first professional goal on 14 August 2023, netting Mirandés' third in a 4–0 home routing of Alcorcón.[7] A regular starter, he contributed with nine goals in 41 appearances during the campaign.

On 28 June 2024, Martínez moved abroad for the first time in his career, after signing a five-year contract with Portuguese Primeira Liga side Braga.[8]
