Club career

Born in Jaén, Andalusia, Martos played youth football with local Real Jaén, and made his senior debuts in with the B-team in the regional leagues. His first competitive appearance with the main squad occurred in the dying stages of the 2011–12 season, in Segunda División B; on 13 July 2012, he renewed his contract for one year after rejecting an offer from Granada CF.[1]

In his second season with the Whites, Martos scored three goals in 32 matches, achieving promotion to Segunda División via the play-offs. He also started in a 0–1 away loss against Atlético Madrid in the Copa del Rey, on 28 November 2012.[2]

On 2 August 2013, Martos signed a new two-year deal with Jaén after rejecting offers from Getafe CF and Recreativo de Huelva.[3] He made his professional debut on 16 October, playing the last 29 minutes in a 2–0 home win over Deportivo de La Coruña in the domestic cup.[4] He first appeared in the second level 30 days later, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–0 success against Real Zaragoza also at the Nuevo Estadio de La Victoria.[5]

On 2 January 2014, Martos was loaned to UD Almería B until June.[6] He rejoined Jaén in June but, after severing ties on 30 January 2015, returned to his previous club hours later.[7]

In August 2015, Martos signed for Cypriot Second Division side Olympiakos Nicosia.
