Born in Évora, Martelo joined S.L. Benfica's youth setup in 2012, after representing Lusitano G.C.[2] On 30 July 2016, he moved abroad and agreed to a four-year contract with Deportivo de La Coruña.[3]
Martelo made his senior debut with the reserves on 16 April 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Pinchi in a 1–0 Tercera División home win against Céltiga FC;[4] it was his only appearance of the campaign, as his side achieved promotion. He was definitely promoted to the B-side in July 2018, but only featured sparingly.
On 31 January 2019, Martelo joined S.C. Braga on a six-month loan deal, and was assigned to the B-team in LigaPro.[5] He made his professional debut on 19 April, replacing Denisson Silva in a 0–1 away loss against Varzim S.C.[6]
On 26 August 2020, Martelo signed a three-year deal with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[7]
On 31 January 2021, Martelo moved to Spanish side Badajoz on a loan deal.[8]
Martelo was part of the Portugal side that won the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Finland. He scored in the first two minutes of a 5–0 semi-final win over Ukraine,[9] and the extra-time winner in the 4–3 final victory over Italy.[10]
Martelo's father Juary and his cousin Vítor are also footballers.[2] The former played as a defender while the latter plays as a winger, but both only played amateur football throughout their careers.
