Career

Martinez was a graduate of the Paris Saint-Germain Youth Academy. He made his debut for the senior team on 28 May 1985 in a 6–1 loss to Nancy.[5] On 1 May 1987, he played his second game for PSG, a 0–0 draw against Nancy as well.[6] Martinez made his final appearance for the Parisian club in a 1–2 win in Le Classique against Marseille on 21 May 1988.[7]

During the 1989–90 season, Martinez was loaned out to SC Abbeville in the Division 2. There, he played more matches than he did at PSG, and he scored the first goal of his professional career. On his return to Paris, he played mostly with the reserve team, before joining OFC Charleville. Martinez would go on to play four years in Charleville before retiring at the age of 29 in 1995.
