Born and raised in Sydney to a Kiwi father and an Australian mother, Martin moved to the United States in 1998 where he attended St. John's College High School in Washington, D.C. before playing one season of college basketball for the UTEP Miners in 2001–02. In 23 games for the Miners, he averaging 2.9 points and 1.6 assists per game.
Martin returned to Australia in 2002 and joined the West Sydney Razorbacks where he played for them in 2002–03. After just one season with the Razorbacks, he moved across town and joined the Sydney Kings. He went on to win two championships with the Kings in his first two seasons before injury struck him down for the 2005–06 season. He missed much of the season with a broken foot he suffered while playing for the Australian Boomers in a tour to China.
In 2006, Martin joined the Cairns Taipans for the 2006–07 season before moving to Melbourne and signing with the South Dragons for the 2007–08 season. In 2008, he moved back to Sydney and signed with the Sydney Spirit for the 2008–09 season.
