Hans Alexis Martínez Cabrera (born 4 January 1987) is a Chilean footballer who plays for UD Almería on loan from Universidad Católica in Spain. Mainly a central defender, he also played as a left defender or defensive midfielder.
Club career
Born in Santiago, Martínez joined Universidad Católica's youth system in 1998, aged 11, and made his first-team debuts in 2007. Martínez scored his first goal on 6 October 2008, in a 5–3 away win over Universidad de Concepción. In the following three seasons he was an undisputed starter, losing his place, however, in the 2012 season.
In July 2013, Martínez rejected a new four-year deal from the UC,[1] and after being linked to Colo-Colo and Universidad de Chile in August,[2] he stated a desire to move abroad in December.[3]
On 27 December 2013 Martínez joined La Liga side UD Almería on loan until the end of the season.[4]
International career
After appearing with the Chile under-17's in 2003 South American Under-17 Football Championship, Martínez was a part of the Chile U-20's squad, which finished fourth at the 2007 South American Youth Championship in Paraguay, being a regular starter. In June he appeared at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and in the following year appeared at the Toulon Tournament.
Martínez made his full squad debut on 26 January 2008, starting in a 0–0 draw against Japan.[5]
