Club career

Martins was born in Lisbon. During his career in Portugal, spent in no higher than the second division and with little impact, he represented Sporting Clube Lourinhanense, F.C. Alverca, G.D. Chaves, C.D. Fátima and G.D. Tourizense. He first moved abroad in 2007, signing with Russia's FC Sibir Novosibirsk also at that level.

Martins then moved to nearby Latvia and joined FK Ventspils. However, after a few months, he was released from his contract and signed with C.D. Primeiro de Agosto; he continued playing in the land of his ancestors the following years, appearing for C.R.D. Libolo and F.C. Bravos do Maquis.

gollark: Anyway, the subsidies take basically none of your money, so I guess you could just have one account build up massive debts without huge problems.
gollark: Or just post cliched responses to random comments in popular subreddits...
gollark: I had to get AutoMeme5000 to 50 karma manually back in the day.
gollark: There's a karma requirement IIRC.
gollark: I guess if you just don't care about it and have it throw away money and build up increasingly large debts...
