Martin Milec (born 20 September 1991 in Maribor) is a Slovenian footballer who plays as a right back for Roda JC Kerkrade, on loan from Standard Liège, in the Dutch Eredivisie.
He began his football career at the age of six, when his father first took him on a training at a local football club. Due to his low size he emphasized his training on technical elements and is known for his dribbling, agility and passing skills. Although primarily a right-footed defender, he can also play as a midfielder. In July 2010 he signed a four-year contract with the 1. SNL club Maribor. In the 2013–14, he was chosen as the best young footballer of the season in the Slovenian PrvaLiga.
In June 2014, after four years in Maribor, Milec signed for Belgian top division side Standard Liège. The transfer fee paid by Standard is alleged to be around €1,3 million.
Throughout his career he has been a member of Slovenia youth selections and represented Slovenia U19 at the 2009 UEFA Under-19 Championship. He also played for the Slovenia U21 team. He has been capped four times for the senior squad.
A native of Rače, Slovenia, he is a lifelong fan of NK Maribor, a club he played for, and regularly attended Maribor's matches as a child.
