Derwin Martina (born 19 July 1994 in Amsterdam) is a Dutch-Curaçaoan footballer who plays for Dutch club RKC Waalwijk and the Curaçao national team as a right back.
Club career
Ajax
Derwin Martina was born in Amsterdam, where he joined the Ajax Academy in 2008.[1] He began his career in the youth teams of Ajax as a forward, but was moved back to play as a defender later in his career. It was youth trainer Said Ouaali who had opted to move the young forward to a more defensive role, after which comparisons of the young right back were commonly made to Michael Reiziger due to their similar playing style.[2]
On 5 July 2013, it was announced that Ajax had signed Martina to a one-year contract. He joined the reserves team Jong Ajax in the Eerste Divisie, the 2nd tier of professional football in the Netherlands. Martina made his professional debut in a 2–1 win over Jong Twente on 30 August 2013. He started the match before being substituted for Stefan Marinković in the 77th minute.
RKC Waalwijk
On 25 June 2014, Martina signed a two-year deal with RKC Waalwijk on a free transfer.
International career
On 8 January 2013, Martina was called up by Curaçao U-20 team coach Hans Schrijver for the 2013 CONCACAF U-20 Championship in Mexico.[3] Martina appeared in two group stage matches against Mexico and El Salvador but failed to help his side advance past the group stage of the tournament.[4] He received his first call ups for the first team ahead of the second round of the 2014 Caribbean Cup qualifying series against Martinique, Guadeloupe and St. Vincent and the Grenadines contested on the island of Guadeloupe from 8 to 12 October 2014.[5]
