Club career[]

A product of Athletic Bilbao's youth system, Martins was born in San Sebastián, Basque Country, and started his senior career with the club's farm and B teams. He spent nine of his first ten seasons as a professional in the Segunda División B, also representing RCD Espanyol B, CD Baza, CD Guijuelo, Benidorm CF[1] and CD Mirandés, joining the latter in June 2010.[2]

Martins started in 27 of his 35 appearances for Mirandés in 2011–12, as the Castile and León side reached Segunda División for the first time ever.[3] He played his first match in the competition on 17 August 2012, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 home loss against SD Huesca.[4]

On 21 July 2015, Martins signed with Real Unión from Hércules CF.[3] He retired at the age of 36, after one year with SD Amorebieta also in the third tier and his native region.[5]
