Career

Martin Drent started his career at amateur club GVAV Rapiditas in 1991. His career in amateur football was short lived, however, as he proved his quality, signing for Eredivisie side FC Groningen in 1992. He played very few games at Groningen and left after just one season to join BV Veendam where he was a relative success. In 1993 he signed for FC Emmen where he played for six years. He returned to Groningen in 1999 where he scored 22 goals in his first season back at the club, helping them achieve promotion from the Eerste Divisie. In January 2005 he returned to another former club BV Veendam where he retired at the end of the season.[1]

Post-retirement

He is currently the commercial director of BV Veendam.
