Dean Martin (born 31 August 1972 in London, England) is a retired English footballer who last played for ÍBV in the Icelandic Premier Division.

Martin played in midfield and spent most of his career in Iceland with ÍA Akranes and KA Akureyri.

Career

Dean began his career with Fisher Athletic and moved to West Ham United in 1991 for £25,000.[1] However he only made 2 league appearances for the Hammers and was loaned out to Colchester United.

After spells with Kettering [2] and Brentford, Dean moved to Asia where he spent time at Hong Kong Rangers. When his contract ended, Martin returned to Europe and spent time training under John Still at Barnet. In December 1998, he moved to Bohemians along with Kevin Hunt on a one-month contract. He made his debut in a 0-0 draw against Cork City at Turners Cross.[3] and made 2 further league appearances for Bohs before his contract expired. As Bohemians only had enough money to sign either Martin or Hunt, Martin was released and he moved on to Hereford United. After a few months at Edgar Street, he signed for Stevenage Borough [4]

In 1995, Dean first moved to Iceland to play in the summer there. He hasn't left to play elsewhere in the winter since the turn of the century.
