Carl Clarke Martin (born 24 October 1986) is an English professional football coach and former player who played as a defender. He last played in 2015 for Wealdstone.[2]

Club career

Martin was born in Camden, London.[1] He started his career in non-league football with Wealdstone before signing for Football League Two side Crewe Alexandra in October 2009. He made his league debut for Crewe on 19 January 2010 in the 1–1 draw with Hereford United at Edgar Street. On 9 March 2010, Martin was sent off in a league game against Grimsby Town, which led to his manager Dario Gradi slating him to the media, not for the sending off but for not following his manager's instructions by running with the ball. Gradi went on to state that Martin would not feature again until he could trust him to follow instructions, also stating: "whatever ban he gets will be music to my ears."[3]

On 1 June 2012 Martin was released by Crewe Alexandra, joining Macclesfield Town, where he remained until 2014.[4] On 30 June 2014, he returned to Wealdstone.[5]

Coaching career

Martin moved to London to pursue a career in coaching and initially had a part-time role with Watford coaching their U15s.[6] A few months later, he went full-time and coached the U18s.[6]

In January 2019, Martin joined Southampton as U18s coach before being put on a year-long sabbatical at the beginning of the 2020–21 season so he could develop a better understanding of an elite first team environment.[6] Under Martin, Southampton U18s won the Premier League South during the 2021–22 season before losing to Manchester City in the National U18s Premier League final.[7][8] On 30 June 2022, he stepped up to support the senior side.[9]
