Playing career

Early years

A midfielder, Martin began his career in Sunday League football, before moving to Conference club Fisher Athletic.[3] He returned to First Division club West Ham United, with whom he had spent a period as a youth, for a £25,000 fee in May 1991.[4] Martin made three appearances during the second half of the 1991–92 season, which would be his only for the club.[5] He spent the opening month of 1993 on loan at Third Division club Colchester United and was released by the Hammers to join Conference club Kettering Town in September 1993,[6][7] where he remained until 1995.[2]

Iceland

Martin moved to Iceland to join 1. deild karla club KA in 1995.[4] Martin's Icelandic career stretched from 1995 to 2014 and he played in the top two divisions, principally for KA and ÍA.[8] He won a promotion from the 1. deild karla with each club and played European football for both.[9][10][11] Martin retired at age 42, after spending the 2014 Úrvalsdeild season with ÍBV.[12]

Football nomad

Between 1995 and 2001, Martin spent the autumn and winter months playing for clubs outside Iceland.[4] He returned to England to play for Brentford (1995–96), Hereford United (1998–99) and Stevenage Borough during the 1999–00 and 2000–01 seasons.[13] He also played in Hong Kong for Eastern AA and Hong Kong Rangers and in the Republic of Ireland for Bohemians.[3][14]

Management and coaching career

Club

Martin completed his KSÍ 'A' coaching badges in 2009 and has a BSc in Sports Science from Reykjavík University.[12] He has held management roles at KA, Breiðablik U19 and HK U19.[12][15][16][17] He has worked as an assistant manager at club sides ÍA, ÍBV and HK.[17][18][19][20][21] On 26 September 2018, Martin was appointed as manager of newly-relegated 2. deild karla club Selfoss on a two-year contract.[22]

International

Martin has assisted and coached Iceland at youth level and in January 2017 was appointed the KSÍ's head of talent identification.[4][12][23] He departed his roles to become assistant manager of China Women in November 2017,[24] but left the setup after manager Sigurður Ragnar Eyjólfsson was sacked in May 2018.[25]
