Marc Martínez Aranda (born 4 April 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Primera Federación club Lugo.
Club career Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Martínez was a FC Barcelona youth graduate. On 20 July 2009, he signed for Racing de Santander and was immediately assigned to the reserves in the Segunda División B.
Martínez made his senior debut on 1 November 2009, in a 3–1 away loss against Atlético Madrid B. Third-choice behind Mario Fernández and Pablo Gómez, he only appeared in five matches during the season, which ended in relegation.
On 4 July 2011, Martínez agreed to a contract with another reserve team, Deportivo Fabril of Tercera División. Two years later, the free agent joined Elche CF's B side; he left the latter club in January 2014, and returned to the former as understudy to Fabri due to Germán Lux's injury.
Martínez remained in the third division the following years, representing UD Logroñés, UD Somozas, CD Alcoyano, Recreativo de Huelva and FC Cartagena. He achieved promotion to Segunda División with the latter in 2020, following a penalty shootout win over CD Atlético Baleares.
Martínez played his first professional game on 13 September 2020 at age 30, starting in a 0–0 draw at Real Oviedo. He remained the undisputed starter under Luis Carrión but, with the same manager still in charge, lost his place to Aarón Escandell in the 2022–23 campaign.
On 28 January 2024, Martínez signed an 18-month deal with La Liga club Granada CF for a reported fee of €150,000. On 15 May, as they were already relegated as second-bottom, the 34-year-old made his first appearance in the competition, losing 2–1 away to Rayo Vallecano.
