Born in La Palma del Condado, Huelva, Andalusia, Martínez finished his formation with AD Nervión. In 2012 he moved to AD Cerro del Águila, making his senior debut during the campaign, in the regional leagues.

In July 2013, Martínez joined Tercera División side CD Alcalá. On 24 January of the following year, after being an undisputed starter, he signed for Sevilla FC and was initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[3]

On 27 June 2016, after achieving promotion to Segunda División, Martínez agreed to a contract with another reserve team, FC Barcelona B also in the third division.[4] A first-choice, he contributed with 34 appearances and one goal as his side returned to the second division after a two-year absence.

Martínez made his professional debut on 19 August 2017, starting in a 2–1 away win against Real Valladolid.[5] The following 1 July, he signed a three-year contract with La Liga side SD Eibar,[6] but was loaned to Granada CF in the second division late in the month.[7]

On 10 August 2019, after achieving promotion with the Nazaríes, Martinez's loan was renewed for a further year. He made his debut in the top tier on 1 September, playing the last 14 minutes in a 3–0 away defeat of RCD Espanyol.[8]

On 19 December 2020, it was announced that Martínez would join Major League Soccer side FC Dallas ahead of their 2021 season.[9] He was released by the club on 30 November 2023, after the option for an extension was declined.[10]

On 31 January 2024, Martínez signed an 18-month deal with Primera Federación side Córdoba CF.[11]
