Football career
Martín was born in
With Castile and León's Salamanca, Martín was instrumental in the 2006 promotion from the third level. In 2007–08 he finished as the player with most matches played in division two, 338, adding that distinction to 13 league goals – squad best, joint-tenth in the competition – which earned him a one-year contract extension aged almost 36.[2]
In 2009–10, Martín played almost 1,000 minutes less than in the previous season and also did not manage to find the net after scoring 25 times in the last two combined. Salamanca barely avoided relegation, finishing in 16th position.
In June 2011, after the side dropped down a tier, Martín retired from football at the age of 38 years and six months,[3] having appeared in 529 games in both major levels of Spanish football combined (98 goals), 425 of those in the second division.[4]
