Martin began his career at Norwich City, joining the club's books at the age of 10 and making his professional début at 18 in the 2006–07 season. He fell out of favour in the 2007–08 season and spent the 2008–09 season on loan at Luton Town. On his return to Norwich, he was an important first team player as the club recorded successive promotions from League One and the Championship in the 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons.

However, upon the club's return to the Premier League, he found himself out of favour and spent part of the 2011–12 season on loan at Crystal Palace and parts of the 2012–13 season on loan at Swindon Town and Derby County. At the end of the season, he agreed a deal to join Derby on a permanent basis, signing a three-year contract and moving to the club on a free transfer ahead of the 2013–14 season. He ended the season as the club's top goalscorer, with 25 goals in all competitions, as the club reached the 2014 Championship play-off Final. He signed a new four-year contract in August 2014 and was also the club's top goalscorer for the 2014–15 season, with 21 goals in all league and cup matches.

On 31 August 2016, Martin joined Fulham on a season-long loan, with an arrangement for a permanent deal at the end of the loan spell. This arrangement was disputed during the season, as Martin expressed a desire to return to Derby.

Martin was eligible to play international football for either England or Scotland, where his father was born. He represented England at under-19 level in 2007. Seven years later he was first selected for the senior Scotland team, for which he made his full international début in May 2014. He scored his first goal for Scotland in October 2015.

Club career

Norwich City

2006–07 season

Born in Beccles, Suffolk,[4] Martin was rewarded with a place on the bench for the game against Plymouth Argyle on 13 January 2007 after impressing in Norwich's FA Youth Cup run.[5][6][7][8][9][10] He made his first team debut in a 1–0 home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on 30 January 2007.[11] He scored his first goal in an FA Cup fourth round replay against Blackpool on 13 February 2007 at Carrow Road,[12] and grabbed his first league goal in a 1–1 draw against Coventry City on 24 February.[13] Two more goals against Luton Town[14] and Barnsley quickly followed.[15] His run of form continued against Derby County, scoring one and having another ruled offside.[16]

2007–08 season

However, he found a place in the starting line up hard to come by in the 2007–08 season under Peter Grant. Under new manager Glenn Roeder he was very much out of favour. He was also constantly criticised by Roeder with Roeder questioning his effort and being banned from a number of pubs in the Beccles area led to more criticism from Roeder.

Along with Michael Spillane he joined Luton Town at the start of the 2008–09 season with Roeder famously naming the pair as "Tweedledum and Tweedledee".[17] The decision to loan the pair out was met with criticism from many Norwich fans feeling that the pair should have been given a chance instead of relying on the high amount of loanees that Roeder had brought in.

2008–09 season
Loan at Luton Town

Martin joined League Two club Luton Town on a season-long loan from Norwich two days prior to the start of the 2008–09 season.[18] He was announced as one of a number of new signings made by manager Mick Harford following The Hatters' exit from administration, along with fellow Norwich player Michael Spillane, who also arrived on a season-long loan, and midfielder Rossi Jarvis, who signed on a free transfer having been released by Norwich in May.

Luton began the season on −30 points, having been deducted 10 points for irregular matters involving player transfers and another 20 points for rule violations when they left administration. The club thus faced a struggle merely to avoid relegation from the Football League for the first time in their history.[19]

Martin made his Luton debut in the first game of the season, a 3–1 defeat to Port Vale on 9 August, and he scored his first goal for the club on 23 August in a 1–1 draw with Notts County. His second goal came in a 3–1 win over Aldershot Town on 13 September and his third came in a 2–2 Football League Trophy draw with Brentford on 7 October. The match went to penalties, with Luton winning 4–2 and Martin scoring the third.[20] He then went twelve league and cup matches without scoring, ending the run with the second goal in a 3–1 win over Barnet on 6 December. After four games without a goal, he scored four in three games: a brace in a 3–2 win against Lincoln City on 28 December, the first in a 2–2 draw against Chester City on 13 January 2009 and Luton's consolation goal in a 5–1 defeat at Darlington on 17 January.

In Luton's match against Bradford City on 24 January, Martin received his first ever red card. With the score at 2–2, Asa Hall scored in the 91st minute to put Luton ahead. Then, in the final minute of stoppage time, referee Trevor Kettle awarded Bradford a penalty after Martin allegedly tripped Steve Jones.[21] BBC Sport called the decision "controversial"[22] and Bedfordshire on Sunday called it a "truly shocking decision", given for "reasons unknown".[23] The decision almost caused a riot in the stands and in the on-pitch "sort-of-brawl" that ensued,[24] Michael Spillane and Kevin Nicholls were booked for dissent and Martin was sent off for foul and abusive language.[25] Barry Conlon scored the penalty and the match finished at 3–3. After the final whistle, abuse and missiles were hurled from the crowd at Kettle,[24] which prompted an FA investigation.[26] Despite the furore, the draw took Luton into positive points for the first time all season, though they remained at the bottom of the table, 9 points behind the 23rd placed team and 19 points from safety.[27]

After missing three games through suspension, Martin returned to the team in a 1–1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on 17 February. Having gone 5 games without a goal, Martin scored the third in a 3–1 win over Port Vale on 28 February. He scored another in a 2–0 win at Notts County on 10 March and then scored three in three games: one in a 2–1 win over Morecambe on 28 March, one in a 4–2 defeat to Rotherham United on 31 March and one in the final of the 2008–09 Football League Trophy at Wembley Stadium on 5 April. The match was against Scunthorpe United, who were pushing for promotion from League One and Martin scored in the 32nd minute to level the tie at 1–1. He "burst forward to collect a cross from [Tom] Craddock, before taking the ball beyond the Iron defence with his first touch and beating [Joe] Murphy with his second.[28] Luton won the match 3–2 after extra time and Martin collected his first trophy. His goal also earned him the award for Goal of the Season at Luton's end-of-season awards.[29]

Martin played Luton's next match, a 0–0 draw with Lincoln City on 11 April, that meant they had to win their next game two days later against Chesterfield to avoid being relegated.[30] Martin missed the game, Luton drew 0–0 and were relegated.[31] Martin played three more games but did not score again. He finished the season with 49 starts and 2 substitute appearances in all competitions, making him the most-used Luton player for the season. He was also the club's top overall goalscorer, with 13, and the club's top league goalscorer, with 11.

2009–10 season

Martin and Spillane rejoined Norwich after the relegation to League One following their League Two spell at Luton. Martin changed his number from 35 to 16. After an impressive pre-season Martin was put in the starting line up against Colchester, however this game ended in a 7–1 defeat for Norwich and Martin was one of those who found himself out of the side for the next few games. However, newly installed manager Paul Lambert began to start with Martin again and he scored his first goal of the season away to MK Dons after just 16 seconds. Martin signed a new three-and-a-half year contract in January 2010[32] and he finished the 2009–10 season with 23 goals in 48 appearances (40 starts and 8 sub appearances) including the winning goal against Leeds United at Carrow Road[33] which left the Canaries on the brink of an instant return to the Championship, with promotion later being confirmed with a 1–0 win away against Charlton Athletic.[34]

2010–11 season

In the 2010–11 season Martin scored his first goals in a 4–1 League Cup win against Gillingham. He and strike partner Grant Holt got two goals each. Martin missed a few games at the start of the season, losing his place to Simeon Jackson. He soon got back onto the first team scoring against Barnsley. Chris Martin scored the winning goal against Derby County even though it was only in the 13th minute. The final score was 2–1. Unfortunately, Martin played no further part in the rest of the season from February 2011, as he picked up a hamstring injury in training. He made the bench for the last few fixtures, but was an unused substitute.

2011–12 season
Martin playing for Crystal Palace in 2012

An unused substitute for the first game of the season, Martin started Norwich's next three league matches alongside Grant Holt, who started all four matches. With Norwich without a win and in 17th place, Martin and Holt were dropped as manager Paul Lambert switched to playing a single striker, Steve Morison. After two matches as an unused substitute, Martin made only one more appearance, as a late substitute in a 2–0 defeat to Manchester United. He then failed to even make the bench for the next four games and Lambert made him available for loan, in order for him to play regular football.[35]

Loan at Crystal Palace

Derby County, Millwall and Nottingham Forest were all keen to sign him,[36] but on 15 November 2011, Martin joined Crystal Palace on loan until 2 January 2012.[35] He played eight matches, starting four, and scored once, in a 1–1 draw with Derby on 2 December, his first goal in almost a year, the last coming also against Derby on 4 December 2010. His loan was subsequently extended until 4 February, with manager Dougie Freedman saying "He wasn't as match-fit as he could've been and needed his first month to get up to pace. I firmly believe the best is yet to come."[37] Martin started the next two games, a 1–0 League Cup first leg win against Cardiff City and a 1–1 league draw with Leeds United, scoring in the latter. After the game, Freedman expressed his desire to keep Martin until the end of the season, praising his "fantastic goal and fantastic work-rate".[38]

Martin started another two matches, a 1–0 League Cup second leg defeat to Cardiff and a 1–1 league draw with Brighton & Hove Albion, scoring in the latter. His loan was extended again, this time until the end of the 2011–12 season.[39] Martin then played in all of the club's next sixteen matches, starting fourteen of them. He scored a brace in a 4–0 win against Watford at Selhurst Park on 18 February, which earned him a place in the Championship Team of the Week for that week, and scored one each in a 3–2 defeat to Derby on 24 March and in a 1–1 draw with Ipswich Town on 14 April. He did not play in the final two games of the season and returned to Carrow Road having scored seven goals in twenty-eight matches in all competitions.

2012–13 season

Crystal Palace were keen to sign Martin on loan again, with a view to a permanent deal, but nothing came of their interest.[40] Martin started the 2012–13 season at Norwich but was again given little playing time. He came on in the 88th minute of the club's second league match of the season, a 1–1 draw with Queens Park Rangers on 25 August, and played the full 90 minutes of the next game, a 2–1 League Cup win against Scunthorpe United on 28 August. He was left out of Norwich's 25-man Premier League squad[41] and didn't appear again for almost a month. He played 71 minutes of a 1–0 League Cup win against Doncaster Rovers on 26 September, in what would turn out to be his final appearance in a Norwich shirt.

Loan at Swindon Town

On 15 November, Martin joined League One club Swindon Town on loan until 5 January 2013.[42] He said, "It's been tough not being involved. It can be hard to get your head around not playing on a weekend. That's the main reason I've come [to Swindon]. I'm coming in to the last six months of my contract [at Norwich] so it's even more important that I'm playing games."[43] Martin played in all eight of the club's matches, starting five of them. Although he didn't score, he helped the team to five wins and a draw. Manager Paolo Di Canio was so keen to keep Martin and two other loan signings that he offered to spend his own money to keep them at the club.[44] On 7 January, his loan was extended by twenty-eight days until 2 February.[45] He started once and came on as a substitute three times in Swindon's next four matches, scoring once in a 2–0 win against Shrewsbury Town on 19 January.

Di Canio declined to extend his loan move again, with Martin keen on moving to a Championship club instead.[46] Martin returned to Carrow Road but was left out of the club's revised 25-man Premier League squad. He was the subject of an inquiry from League One leaders Tranmere Rovers, but they could not afford to sign him. Norwich manager Chris Hughton said, "Chris has been unfortunate. He has a wonderful finishing ability but he has just found himself not getting the games here he would like. He played a part at Swindon and that will have given him the feeling of being back involved," adding that he would be leaving again on loan.[47]

Loan at Derby County

On 22 February 2013, Martin joined Derby County on loan for an initial one-month period.[48] Martin made his Derby debut in a 2–1 loss at Watford on 23 February, as a half time substitute for Michael Jacobs.[49] Martin started his first game for Derby on 1 March, in a 1–0 home defeat to former club Crystal Palace.[50] He scored his first goal for Derby in the final game of his initial month, the club's second in their 2–1 win over local rivals Leicester City on 16 March.[51] On 21 March, Derby extended Martin's loan stay to the end of the season.[52] Martin scored a further goal in Derby's 3–1 win against Peterborough United on 20 April. He ended his loan spell with 2 goals in 13 appearances. He also scored against Cardiff on 6 March and against Ipswich Town on 6 April, but both goals were controversially ruled offside and did not stand.[53][54] Manager Nigel Clough stated his intent to sign Martin on a permanent basis in the summer, with a deal reported to being close in early May.[55]

Derby County

2013–14 season

On 9 May 2013, it was confirmed that Martin would join Derby County on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract with the possibility of a third year, with the transfer formally taking place on 1 July 2013.[56] Martin faced competition from Johnny Russell, Conor Sammon and Jamie Ward for a starting place.[57] Martin started alongside Russell in Derby's 1–1 draw with Blackburn Rovers on the opening day, his first start as a permanent player.[58] He scored a brace in the second game of the season, a 2–1 victory away at Brighton & Hove Albion on 10 August.[59] His third goal of the season came in a 3–0 win away at Yeovil Town[60] and his fourth and fifth goals of the season came in a 5–0 win over Brentford,[61] a second round tie in the League Cup. He scored his third and final League Cup goal of the season on 24 September as Derby were knocked out by Leicester City in a 2–1 defeat.[62]

His seventh overall and fourth League goal of the season came on 5 October 2013. The first game under new Derby manager Steve McClaren, Martin scored the first goal, which was also his 50th career league goal, as Derby beat Leeds United 3–1, recording their 10th consecutive win against their fierce rivals.[63] His fifth league goal of the season was the last in a 3–0 win over Sheffield Wednesday on 9 November.[64] He then scored five goals in three games: one each in 3–1 and 2–1 wins against Wigan Athletic and Middlesbrough on 1 and 4 December, respectively, and then his first ever league hat-trick in a 5–1 win against Blackpool on 7 December.[65] On 29 December, Martin scored a brace against Barnsley to help Derby win 2–1. This took his goal tally for the season up to 15 in all competitions.[66] After going five league and cup games without scoring, his longest goal drought of the season, Martin scored in the 95th minute in Derby's home match against Yeovil Town on 28 January 2014 to win the game 3–2.[67] Martin scored in the Championship play-off semi final 1st leg against Brighton and Hove Albion from a penalty, he also forced Brighton's keeper Tomas Kuszczak into scoring an own goal.[68]

2014–15 season

Martin had a relatively slow start to the season: he scored once in a 2–0 League Cup win against Carlisle United on 11 August 2014, twice in a 5–1 win at home to Fulham on 23 August and once in a 1–1 draw against Ipswich Town on 30 August; these the only goals he scored in the first eleven league and cup matches of the season. He then scored three goals in four days: both goals in a 2–0 win at Bolton Wanderers on 27 September and the second in a 2–0 win at home to Bournemouth on 30 September. Another two goals followed in a 3–0 win at Reading on 18 October, an 81st-minute penalty in a 1–0 win against Blackpool on 21 October, then another penalty against Fulham in a 5–2 League Cup win, before scoring the opening goal in a 2–1 defeat to Brentford on 1 November.

After four matches without a goal, Martin scored another brace, his fourth of the season and seventh for Derby, in a 3–0 win against Brighton on 6 December. His fifteenth and sixteenth goals of the season came in a 2–2 draw against Norwich City on 20 December and in a 4–0 win against Birmingham City on Boxing Day. His next two goals were both in 1–0 wins: a 90th-minute penalty after coming off the bench in an FA Cup match against Southport on 3 January 2015 and away to Ipswich Town on 10 January. Martin then endured a barren spell, scoring only once in the next seven matches in all competitions; it was the second in a 2–0 win at Cardiff City on 31 January. He rounded out the season with two goals in the last four games: one each in a 2–0 win against Wigan Athletic on 6 April and in a 3–3 draw against Millwall on 25 April. Martin's downturn coincided with a poor run in form for Derby, who after rising to the top of the Championship at the end of February, won only two of their last thirteen league matches, to finish the season eighth and outside the playoffs by a single point. Martin was again the club's leading goalscorer, as well as the joint-seventh highest scorer in the league, and manager Steve McClaren was sacked.

2015–16 season

Former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid assistant manager Paul Clement was named the new Derby manager on 1 June 2015[69] and Martin again began the new season slowly. He scored four goals in the first ten matches of the season in all competitions: the equaliser in a 1–1 draw at home to Charlton Athletic on 15 August, in a 2–1 defeat to Leeds United on 29 August and a brace in a 2–1 win against Preston North End on 12 September. After scoring the first in a 2–0 win against Brentford on 3 October, Martin followed up with his first goal for Scotland, in a 6–0 win against Gibraltar on 11 October and a brace in a 4–2 win at home to Wolves on 18 October. He next scored on 24 October, the first in a 2–1 win against Huddersfield Town.

2016–17 season
Loan at Fulham

On 31 August 2016, Martin joined Fulham on a season-long loan. Fulham had the option to sign him permanently at the end of the season.[70] Martin scored his first goal for Fulham in a 4–2 win against Barnsley on 15 October 2016.[71]

After Steve McClaren returned as manager of Derby, he expressed his surprise that Martin had been allowed to leave on loan and indicated that he wanted to recall the player.[72][73] Martin made himself unavailable for a game at Reading that was abandoned due to fog.[74] Fulham refused to release Martin from the loan contract, with manager Slavisa Jokanovic saying that players could not "come in and out when you want".[74] In January 2017, Martin signed an extended contract with Derby and said that he was "looking forward to playing for Derby as soon as possible".[75] Fulham reiterated their intention to keep Martin.[75]

2017–18 season

Martin returned to Derby for the 2017–18 season.

Loan at Reading

Having not started a game for Derby since 9 December, Martin was loaned to Reading on 31 January 2018.[76] He scored his first, and only, goal for Reading in a 2–1 loss at Middlesbrough on 10 February 2018.[77]

Loan at Hull City

On Deadline day, Martin was loaned to Hull City on 31 August 2018.[78] He made his debut on 15 September 2018 in a 2–0 home win against Ipswich Town when he came on as an 87th-minute substitute for Fraizer Campbell.[79]

International career

Martin's performances for Norwich in the 2006–07 season saw him win a place in the England Under-19 squad, in which he scored a debut goal in a 1–0 victory over Turkey on 21 March 2007. He featured in England's 2007 UEFA European Under-19 Championship elite qualification campaign making his competitive début against Russia in May 2007.[80]

In May 2014, Martin was called up by Scotland to play in a friendly against Nigeria at Craven Cottage.[81] He qualified to play for Scotland because his father was born in Glasgow.[81][82] Martin came on at half time in a match which ended in a 2–2 draw.[83] He scored his first international goal with the opener in a 6–0 win against Gibraltar in the final game of Scotland's unsuccessful UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.[84]

Martin scored the second goal for Scotland in a 5–1 win against Malta, the first game of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.[85] He said after the game that he had been surprised to be selected to start the match.[85] Later in the same campaign, Martin scored a late winning goal in a victory against Slovenia.[86] Martin had been jeered by some Scotland fans as he was introduced to that match as a substitute.[86]
