Career

edit

Martín joined the youth academy of Atlético Madrid in 2008, and started training with their first team in the summer of 2021.[3] He made his senior debut with Atletico in a 1–0 La Liga win over Osasuna on 20 November 2021, coming on as a sub in the 85th minute.[4]

On 4 August 2023, Martín was loaned to Segunda División side CD Mirandés for the season.[5] On his club debut ten days later, he scored a brace in a 4–0 home routing of AD Alcorcón. It were also his first professional goals.[6]

Martín ended the 2023–24 season with 15 goals as Mirandés avoided relegation; highlights included another brace against FC Andorra (4–3 home win) and CD Eldense (3–1 home win).[7] Upon returning to Atleti, he renewed his contract until 2029 on 9 July 2024,[8] but was loaned to fellow top tier side Deportivo Alavés on 17 August.[9]

Back to Atleti in July 2025, Martín was rarely used and was once again loaned out on 2 January 2026, this time to fellow La Liga side Rayo Vallecano until the end of the 2025–26 season.[10][11]
