Adrián Martín Cardona (born 10 October 1982) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career

Martín was born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands. He first appeared as a professional in the 2003–04 season with UD Las Palmas in the Segunda División,[1] switching to Segunda División B with Real Madrid's reserves Real Madrid Castilla in summer 2004 and achieving promotion with them at the end of his first season.[2] On 6 December 2005, he played his only official game with the latter's first team, featuring the second half of a 2–1 away loss against Olympiacos F.C. in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League after coming on as a substitute for another cantera product, Javier Balboa.[3][4]

From 2006 to 2008, Martín had second-division stints with Real Murcia CF and Xerez CD (the latter on loan),[5] where he was rarely used. In July 2008, he signed a one-year contract with Levante UD in the same league,[6] and subsequently resumed his career in the third tier.[7]
