Born in Sant Fost de Campsentelles, Barcelona, Catalonia, Martínez joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in 2012, from CF Martorelles.[1] After leaving Barça in 2016, he played for two years for CF Damm before finishing his formation with Girona FC.[2]

Martínez made his senior debut with the reserves on 10 January 2021, playing the last 19 minutes of a 0–0 Tercera División home draw against Cerdanyola del Vallès FC.[3] He made his first team debut on 22 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Gerard Gumbau in a 0–0 home draw against UD Las Palmas in the Segunda División championship.[4]

On 13 July 2022, Martínez was loaned to Primera Federación side CD San Fernando for the season.[5] On 30 June of the following year, he moved to second division side CD Mirandés also in a temporary one-year deal.[6]
