North Sydney Bears
A Newcastle junior and Australian Schoolboy rep, Martin had a tremendous year as North Sydney Bears halfback in 1990 and was named Dally M Rookie of the Year as well as finishing second runner-up in the major gold Dally M Award. He was an important factor in the Bears' push to the premiership final in the 1991 season, but did not fare as well the following year when coach Steve Martin moved him to hooker.
An accomplished singer and guitarist, Martin released a single in 1991 called "Take Me to the Top", the video of which featured clips of Martin playing for North Sydney, and several of his Bears teammates acting as a choir to sing backing vocals during the song's chorus.

Out of an unseen quarry evermore
Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer
Curves his white bastions with projected roof”
