Club career
Still a youngster, Martínez was bought by Serie A's Cagliari, arriving from Victoria. He would leave after just one season, having gathered no first team appearances.
In the summer of 2008, Martínez joined Portugal's Rio Ave, although he spent the season with its junior side. Then he left for Peñarol, hoping to gain more first-team experience, but returned home after a few weeks, joining Real España. On August 2012, he signed for F.C. Motagua.[1]
International career
Internationally, Martínez participated in the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, also attending the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in South Korea, scoring against Spain. He also played for Honduras at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt.[2]
Martinez made his senior debut for Honduras in a September 2010 friendly match against El Salvador and has, as of January 2013, earned a total of 2 caps, scoring no goals.
