Career

Born in Berantevilla, Álava, Basque Country, Martínez joined Deportivo Alavés' youth sides in 2018. He suffered a serious injury in 2023, before making his senior debut with the C-team in Tercera Federación in 2024.

In July 2025, Martínez left Alavés and signed for CD Mirandés, being initially assigned to the reserves[1] but making the pre-season with the first team.[2] In the following month, however, he suffered an injury in a pre-season match against Real Sociedad B, only returning to action in March 2026.[3]

Martínez made his professional debut with the Jabatos on 26 April 2026, coming on as a late substitute for Unax del Cura in a 2–1 Segunda División home win over Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[4][5]
