| Martis went to England in July 2005. He moved from FC Eindhoven to Darlington.
He made an immediate impact at the heart of defence to scoop the clubs Player-of-the-Year award.
After a successful season at Darlington he joined the Scottish league, signing a 3-year contract at Hibernian FC in August 2006. Martis put pen to paper on a two-year WBA deal, plus a further years option in the clubs favour, in July 2007 after sealing a £50,000 move from SPL outfit Hibernian. Just one league appearance in the first half of 2007-08, Martis was allowed a loan move to Scunthorpe United for the rest of the season. After failing to break into WBAs first team, Martis joined Doncaster Rovers on a months loan on October 31, 2008, where he meets his fellow-countryman Jos van Nieuwstadt. He made a good impact but suffered a bad injury that took him out for two months. He returned back from his loan-deal to WBA being injured. Rovers manager Sean O Driscoll confirmed to renew his interest in a probably new loan-deal after the recovery of Martis. With his début in March 2009, he impressed his coach with his qualities that the option in his contract for another season was confirmed. Martis was under contract until 2010 at WBA. He appeared 13 times for WBA en scored twice. However at the end of the winter transfer period, he was keen on moving to his former club Doncaster Rovers on a permanent deal. He signed a 3,5 year contract until 2013. Shelton Martis is Netherlands Antilles international. | |
