Martins started his European career with Italian side
Reggiana before quickly attracting the attention of
Inter Milan whom he signed for in 2001. Unlike his brother, Martins did not thrive at Inter and was released at the end of the 2001–02 season. He returned to
Nigeria but soon found himself heading back to Europe, this time for a trial with
Serbian side
FK Partizan. His hard work was rewarded and in 2003 he signed a professional contract. His opportunities at Partizan were limited and most of his opportunities to play ended up being for the satellite
FK Teleoptik. In 2004, he was released from his contract and returned to
Nigeria again, this time for an extended period before he finally signing for
Austrian side
Innsbrucker AC in time for the 2007–08 season after a trial period and joined
University of Ado Ekiti in February 2009. ==Personal life==
