Club career
Martínez was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava. After beginning his career at hometown's Deportivo Alavés, in the second and third divisions, he moved to Basque neighbours Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2010, for €200,000 and a three-year contract. He was initially assigned to the reserve side, also in the third level.
On 18 September 2010, Martínez made his official debut with the first-team, starting and playing 70 minutes in a 2–2 away draw against Sporting de Gijón. He only appeared in a combined ten La Liga matches in his first two seasons, however.
Martínez scored his first goal for Athletic on 30 August 2012, in a UEFA Europa League qualifying round game at HJK Helsinki, netting the last in a 3–3 draw (9–3 aggregate win). Released in 2013, he resumed his career in division two with CD Mirandés and CD Lugo.
