Lewis Martin (born 8 April 1996) is a Scottish[1] footballer who plays as a defender for Dunfermline Athletic. Martin has also represented Scotland at U19's level.[2]
Club career
Born in Bonnybridge[1] on the outskirts of Falkirk, Martin started his footballing career with Rangers youth squads from under-10s level, before moving to current club Dunfermline Athletic at the age of sixteen.[1] He made his first team debut during the 2012–13 season as a 90th-minute substitute against Scottish First Division opponents Greenock Morton,[3] after the club encountered financial problems[4] resulting in the redundancy of seven first team players.[5] Martin then made his first full start in December 2013 in a league match against Ayr United and was a semi-permanent starter for the remainder of the 2013–14 season. His first goal for the club came in a one-all draw with Rangers.[6]
During the 2014–15 season, Martin played in every league match for the Pars, bar those where he was called up to the Scotland under-19 squad. The 2015–16 season began in much the same way, with Martin starting the first thirteen competitive matches. However, after being involved in a car accident at the end of September,[7] Martin missed the matches against Albion Rovers and St Mirren[8][9] before returning to the starting eleven in a 3–0 win against Stranraer.[10][11]
International career
In August 2014, Martin was called up for the Scotland under-19 squad to face Belgium in a friendly match in Tubize,[12] making his debut as a second-half substitute, replacing Blackburn Rovers defender Sam Lavelle.[2][13] His first full start for the side was against Norway in a qualification match for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship, in a one-all draw which saw the side miss out on automatic qualification to the elite round of qualification.[14]
