Rhu-endly Aurelio Jean-Carlo "Cuco" Martina (born 25 September 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a right back for English club Southampton.
He formerly played for Feyenoord, RBC Roosendaal, RKC Waalwijk and FC Twente.
Born and raised in the Netherlands, he represents Curaçao at international level.
Martina was born in Rotterdam. He grew up in the south of the city with his mother, brothers and sister. Martina did not know his father, and states his elder brother was instead like a father to him. His brothers Derwin and Javier are also both footballers.
Martina played youth football with Feyenoord. He then spent his early senior career with RBC Roosendaal, RKC Waalwijk and FC Twente.
He signed a two-year contract with English club Southampton on 7 July 2015. An unused substitute in the first leg, Martina made his Southampton debut in their UEFA Europa League third qualifying round second leg away to Vitesse Arnhem, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–0 win on 6 August. Three days later, he made his league debut as a half-time substitute for fellow new signing Cédric Soares in a 2–2 draw against Newcastle United. Martina became the first-ever Curaçao international to play for Southampton and the second to play in the Premier League after West Bromwich Albion's Shelton Martis in 2009.
