Carlos Martín Domínguez (born 22 April 2002) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club Rayo Vallecano, on loan from Atlético Madrid.

Career

Martín joined the youth academy of Atlético Madrid in 2008, and started training with their first team in the summer of 2021.[3] He made his senior debut with Atletico in a 1–0 La Liga win over Osasuna on 20 November 2021, coming on as a sub in the 85th minute.[4]

On 4 August 2023, Martín was loaned to Segunda División side CD Mirandés for the season.[5] On his club debut ten days later, he scored a brace in a 4–0 home routing of AD Alcorcón; it were also his first professional goals.[6]

Martín ended the 2023–24 season with 15 goals as Mirandés avoided relegation; highlights included another braces against FC Andorra (4–3 home win) and CD Eldense (3–1 home win).[7] Upon returning to Atleti, he renewed his contract until 2029 on 9 July 2024,[8] but was loaned to fellow top tier side Deportivo Alavés on 17 August.[9]

Back to Atleti in July 2025, Martín was rarely used and was once again loaned out on 2 January 2026, this time to fellow La Liga side Rayo Vallecano until the end of the 2025–26 season.[10][11]
