Career
Martot came via the youth system at Le Havre to their "B" side in season 2001-02. He progressed to the first team in the following season, appearing 25 times in Ligue 1 and scoring two goals. He made the same number of appearances in the 2003-04 season, albeit in Ligue 2 after Le Havre were relegated, scoring just once. In 2004-05, Martot took part in only six games, but still added one goal to his career total. He managed five goals in 32 appearances during the 2005-06 campaign, and scored twice in 23 games the following season.[1]
Martot joined Brighton on loan for a planned three-month period on August 31, 2007, the last day of the English transfer window.[2] He made his Albion debut during the 3-2 win over Southend on 1 September, playing on the right side of midfield.[3] Martot was often used as a substitute for Brighton during his time there, and came on in the next game against Millwall, scoring the first of his total of two goals for the club.[4] His second goal was scored in a Football League Trophy game at home to Cheltenham in November 2007.[5]
Martot's provisional loan deal at Brighton was due to expire at the end of November 2007, but the club agreed to extend this deal by a further month until the end of December 2007. It was subsequently revealed that Martot had agreed to stay on loan at the Withdean until the end of the 2007-08 season.[6]
On the 6 May 2008, it was revealed that Martot, along with Sam Rents and Shane McFaul had been told they can all leave Brighton. Martot returned to his parent club Le Havre[7]
