Club career

Born in Seville, Andalusia, Martínez graduated with Real Betis' youth setup, and made his debuts as a senior with the C-team in 2010. After appearing regularly for the reserves in Segunda División B, he made his first-team debut on 11 May 2011, starting in a 3–1 home win against CD Tenerife for the Segunda División championship.[1]

On 27 August 2011, while still registered with the B-side, Martínez made his La Liga debut, coming on as a late substitute for Jefferson Montero in a 1–0 away win against Granada CF.[2] After appearing rarely during the campaign (three appearances, 117 minutes of action), he was definitely promoted to the main squad in the 2012 summer.[3]

On 16 August 2013, Martínez renewed his contract with the Verdiblancos until 2017, and was immediately loaned to Real Murcia in the second level.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 12 October, netting the game's only in a home success over Girona FC.[5]

On 10 November 2014, Martínez suffered a severe knee injury which kept him sidelined for seven months.[6] He only returned to the field on 7 June of the following year, replacing Francisco Portillo in a 0–3 home loss against Sporting de Gijón.[7]

On 18 August 2015, Martínez was loaned to Elche CF in a season-long deal.[8]
