Martín scored his first senior goal on 1 November 2017, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Real Balompédica Linense. The following 21 June, after featuring regularly for the B-team during the campaign, he extended his contract with the club,[1] and featured with the main squad during the whole pre-season.

On 26 June 2019, after suffering relegation, Martín signed a five-year contract with Rayo Vallecano, now also in the second division.[4] He helped the Madrid side to achieve promotion to La Liga in the 2020–21 season, scoring four times.
Martín made his top tier debut on 15 August 2021, replacing Óscar Valentín in a 0–3 away loss against Sevilla FC. The following 27 January, after featuring rarely, he was loaned to CD Tenerife in division two, until June.[5]
