Since then he has featured for the likes of Birmingham City, Coventry City, Oxford United and Exeter City most recently, where he helped them reach the League Two play-offs
Now he takes his first steps into Scottish football. Martin says it’s a challenge that excites him after going through plenty of experiences in the professional game.
“I’ve been in the game a long time now, I’m looking forward to playing a different style of football and I’m really looking forward to get going again,” he said (Accies TV).
“There will be some tough games up here but I’m looking forward to experiencing the difference in opposition in Scotland. I think it’s going to be high-tempo.
“I’ve been really impressed. Everyone seems really friendly and I’m looking forward to settling in.”
