In 2009, at the age of 19, Martin caught the attention of recruiters following a breakout year playing in Melbourne's Eastern Football League for the Noble Park Football Club[1] where he won the club's best & fairest award. Martin spent a further two seasons at Noble Park before joining Frankston in 2012, going on to win the club champion trophy in his first season.[2]

In his first season at Collingwood, Martin played 4 senior games, scoring 6 goals, and also won the Joseph Wren Memorial Trophy as the best and fairest of Collingwood's VFL side.[3] He repeated the feat in 2014, claiming a second consecutive Joseph Wren award after managing just two games for the senior side that season.[4]

On 4 October 2014, Martin announced his departure from Collingwood and the AFL to return to the Noble Park Football Club in 2015 after deciding the full-time demands of professional sport were not for him.[5]
