Martínez was born in Madrid, and joined AD Alcorcón's youth setup in January 2016, from ED Moratalaz.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 12 April of the following year, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–3 Tercera División home loss against Atlético Madrid B.[2]

Martínez scored his first senior goal on 28 January 2018, netting the last in a 5–0 away routing of CF San Agustín del Guadalix.[3] He made his first team debut on 17 February, as he replaced Foued Kadir in a 1–1 home draw against CD Tenerife in the Segunda División.[4]

On 16 August 2018, Martínez joined Segunda División B side UD San Sebastián de los Reyes on loan for a year.[5] Upon returning, he moved to Levante UD after agreeing to a three-year contract on 5 July 2019, and was assigned to the B-team in the same category.[6]

Martínez made his La Liga debut on 1 December 2019, replacing Nikola Vukčević late into a 0–4 away loss against Getafe CF.[7] The following 17 July, he renewed his contract until 2024,[8] and joined CD Mirandés in the second division on a one-year loan deal on 2 October.[9]

Upon returning, Martínez was permanently assigned in the main squad for the 2021–22 campaign, but was loaned to second division side SD Huesca on 14 January 2022.[10] He scored his first professional goal nine days later, but in a 2–1 home loss against SD Ponferradina.
