Alexis Martial (born 15 June 2001) is a French professional footballer who plays as a right-back for National 3 club Orléans B.

Career

[edit]

Martial grew Val-d'Oise, and began playing football in the youth department of FC Écouen as a seven-year-old before moving to AAS Sarcelles.[1] At 13, he joined the Lyon academy, where coaches like Cyril Dolce and Armand Garrido helped shape his technical and tactical development as a versatile defender.[1] In 2019, he signed with Servette in Switzerland, making his professional debut on 4 July 2020, replacing Gaël Ondoua in the 86th minute of a 2–0 Swiss Super League loss to FC Zürich.[2]

After departing Servette in 2021, Martial experienced a period without a club but remained active by training with teams such as Versailles, FC 93, and his former club Sarcelles. In 2022, he participated in the UNFP FC summer camp, playing against Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 teams, which reignited his drive to return to professional football.[1] Shortly thereafter, he signed with EF Reims Sainte-Anne, a club in National 3.[3]

In 2023, Martial joined Orléans' reserves, competing in National 3.[4]

Style of play

[edit]

Known for his versatility, Martial is adept as a defensive midfielder, centre-back, and right-back, with strengths in physicality, ball recovery, and forward projection.[1]

Personal life

[edit]

Martial is the cousin of Manchester United forward Anthony Martial, and Johan Martial.[5]
