Francisco Javier 'Javi' Martos Espigares (born 4 January 1984) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Belgian club R. Charleroi S.C. as a right back.

Football career

Born in Alamedilla, Granada, Martos spent one full decade in FC Barcelona's youth system,[1][2] but only represented the C-team as a senior. On 20 May 2006 he played his first and only La Liga game, replacing also youth graduate Andrea Orlandi in the second half of a 1–3 loss against Athletic Bilbao at the San Mamés Stadium, as the Frank Rijkaard-led side had already been crowned league champions.[3]

Martos had a brief spell with PFC CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria after being released by the Blaugrana, becoming the first Spaniard to play in the A Football Group,[4] then resumed his career in amateur football, first with Girona FC then Atlético Malagueño. In the 2008 summer he joined Iraklis Thessaloniki FC, being first-choice and helping the team to back-to-back tenth-place finishes in the Superleague Greece.

In early December 2010 Martos went on trial with SD Eibar in his homeland,[5] but nothing came of it. In the following year's winter transfer window, he signed a contract with R. Charleroi S.C. in Belgium.[6]

Martos was relegated from the Pro League in his first year, but achieved promotion in his first full season after only missing three league matches.
