Martin has been a pivotal figure in Donegal's underage teams over recent years. Notably, he was an integral part of the Donegal minor team that reached the Ulster final in 2021.

The upcoming fixture against Fermanagh marks the beginning of Donegal's journey in a competitive Group A, which also includes Tyrone, Antrim, and Down. The team is under the guidance of manager Gary Boyle who replaces Shaun Paul Barrett in the hotseat. ​​​
