David Martinez

Hector David Martinez (born 21 January 1998) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for River Plate, on loan form Defensa y Justicia. Born in Argentina, he represents the Paraguay national team.

Club Career

Martinez's career started with River Plate, initially featuring for their youth system; notably at the 2016 U-20 Copa Libertadores, though only as an unused substitute on three occasions. He first appeared in River Plate's first-team under Marcelo Gallardo in October 2017, with the defender being chosen on the bench for an Argentine Primera Division defeat away to Talleres. His professional debut arrived on 2 December 2018 during a fixture with Gimnasia y Esgrima.

Across the next twelve months, the centre-back made twenty league appearances and scored two goals; against Godoy Cruz and Patronato. He also made appearances in the Copa Argentina and Copa Libertadores. Defensa extended his loan in April 2020, prior to signing him permanently in the succeeding August.
