Biography

Benjamín Martínez Martínez (born 23 August 1987), commonly known as Benja, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa as a forward.

Football career

Born in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, Catalonia, Benja concluded his youth development at CF Damm before joining RCD Espanyol B in 2006, spending his tenure on loan at CE Europa. Two years later he joined another reserve team, FC Barcelona B, and after a loan at CF Reus Deportiu he scored eight goals in 26 games in his first season as they won promotion from Segunda División B, including a hat-trick in a 3–3 away draw against Polideportivo Ejido in the first leg of the play-off first round.

On 14 July 2011, Benja transferred to Segunda División side Girona FC, totalling 14 goals in 53 competitive matches over the next two campaigns, two of those coming in the first 11 minutes of a 3–1 home win over Sporting de Gijón on 29 September 2012. The following 24 February he suffered a serious left knee injury against Córdoba CF, but he nonetheless agreed to sign for this club on 27 June; the deal was frozen until his recovery.

After terminating his contract in January 2014, Benja joined another second level team, UD Las Palmas, on the anniversary of his injury. The following 7 January he returned to his native region once more, after being loaned to CE Sabadell FC for the rest of the campaign, which ended in relegation.

On 27 July 2016, after suffering the same fate with UE Llagostera, Benja dropped into division three for the first time in six years, moving to Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.
