Martins was part of the SESA Football Academy in Goa and signed his first contract with Sporting Club de Goa in 2014. He made his Hero I-League debut against the erstwhile Bharat FC and went on to make 13 appearances for Sporting across two seasons.

The midfielder joined Churchill Brothers ahead of the 2019-20 season, and impressed fans with his tough tackling as well as passing range. During his time with the club, Martins was a regular starter under head coach Bernardo Tavares.

ATK Mohun Bagan have built a strong team to challenge for the Hero ISL trophy as well as the AFC Cup. Martins will look to partner Javi Hernandez in the middle of the park for the Kolkata giants, with the likes of Pronay Halder and Michael Regin also available to head coach Antonio Lopez Habas.
