None thought that he could go as far as a star for Richmond, one day.

At 18, he was drafted by Richmond, but he wasn’t a beloved personality on the club at the outset. The training coach prohibited him from the ground following his night out funs in 2010. However, he turned a dynamic player on the field that he debuted n the 2010 season’s opening match over Carlton. The same year, he received a two-year contract extension offer along with a signing amount of $400,000 from Richmond. Consequently, he ranked one of the top-notch players for the highest score of disposals, clearances, and kicked goals.

In 2013, he rejected Richmond’s entire offer, which included roughly $500,000 per season initially. Also, he went for rivals like Greater Western Sydney and Essendon; however, he glued to Richmond for the next two years. Before the contract expired in 2015, Richmond again persuaded Martin to stay committed to the club and improvise his midfield role and ball tackling skills till 2017. Well, the Tigers managed to keep Martin till the 2024 season with the contract worth 9 million, which is one of the biggest deals in its history ever. Though he was in the contract conflict with North Melbourne, he went with his lifelong club, Tigers, making his net worth a ballpark figure of millions within his reach.
