Aaron Martin (born 29 September 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for League One football team Oxford United.
Martin began his career with Conference South (sixth-tier) club Eastleigh before turning professional with Southampton, then playing in League One, in 2009. He spent time on loan at Conference Premier club Salisbury City, and played his part in two promotions with Southampton, but never played for them in the Premier League, instead going on loan to Crystal Palace and Coventry City. After missing the first half of the 2013–14 season through injury, his Southampton contract was ended by mutual consent in January 2014, when he signed for Birmingham City of the Football League Championship. After a short spell with the Blues he signed for Yeovil Town before having his contract terminated by mutual consent in January 2015.
Martin was born in Newport, Isle of Wight, and attended Heathfield School and Itchen College in Southampton, Hampshire. He represented the English Schools' under-18 football team on several occasions.
Martin began his career with Conference South club Eastleigh as a 14-year-old, and went on to make 41 first-team appearances for the club, scoring 4 goals in all competitions.
