Homer Enrique Martínez Yepez (born 6 October 1997) is a Colombian footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Categoría Primera A side Atlético Junior.
In 2016, Martínez had a spell at Atlético Junior. However, he only reached one game with the first team as a unused substitute, before he returned to Barranquilla.[1] He became a regular player at Barranquilla in the 2017 and 2018 seasons in Categoría Primera B. Due to his good performances, he was invited to a two-week trial by Mexican club C.F. Pachuca in November 2018.[2] However, he returned to Barranquilla without a contract.
After a trial period in January 2019, he returned to Atlético Junior, signing a one-year deal in February 2019.[3] In the summer 2019, he was close to join Rionegro Águilas on loan, but no agreement was finally reached and he then once again returned to Barranquilla.[4] In September 2019 it was also reported, that Cypriot club, Pafos FC, had presented an offer for him.[4]
On 13 January 2020 it was confirmed, that Martínez had joined Atlético Bucaramanga for the 2020 season.[5] At the end of 2020, Martínez signed a deal with his former club Atlético Junior for the 2021 season.[6]
Martínez made his debut for the Colombia national team on 16 January 2022 in a 2–1 home win over Honduras.[7]
