On 18 August 2021, Martínez joined Belgian First Division B club Lommel on a five-year deal, returning to Alajuelense until the end of the year.[2]

New York City FC

On 4 August 2023, it was announced that Martínez had signed with Major League Soccer club New York City FC.[3] On 31 May 2024, Martinez came on as a substitute and scored a 10-minute hat-trick in a 5-1 win vs San Jose Earthquakes.[4] Martinez had a breakout season with NYCFC with his stunning scoring displays. Despite playing a winger for most of his career, New York City FC coach Nick Cushing decided to play Martinez as a striker and it’s worked beautifully as Martinez had a career high 16 goals in the 2024 MLS Season and helped guide NYCFC into the playoffs after missing out in 2023.
