Club career

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.
