The midfielder, who has previously worked with head coach Juan Ferrando during his FC Goa days, will rejoin the Spaniard at his new club. A dominative presence in the midfield with his defensive vision to intercept passes and long balls along with his tackling ability, Martins will be a problem solver in the Kolkata-based side's defensive issues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Clocking 470 minutes in nine of the 15 games so far this season, Martins hasn't had got a lot of gametime under the FC Goa side led by new head coach Carlos Pena. The midfielder registered 29 tackles, nine clearances, seven blocks, and five interceptions this season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Mariners are placed fourth in the league standings, with 24 points in 14 games, and are up against Odisha FC in a home game on January 28. Martins will be hoping to make his presence count as the Mariners fight to collect the three points in a bid to strengthen their qualification in the playoffs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
