“It will be a new experience for me, but with plenty of experienced players in there, I am sure they will help me bed into the new environment, and I can’t wait to pull on the gold jersey for the first time.”
In 2009 Martin began his senior career at Montrose, staying at Links Park for three years. In 2012 Martin ended up at Dundee before finally settling down three years later at Easter Road.
Well over a century of Hibernian appearances later and 24 goals under his belt Martin finds himself progressing up to and including the international footballing ladder.
