Jack Martin, as he was always known, made his name in north-Eastern Non-League soccer with Hebburn Colliery, before joining Darlington in the summer of 1920, where he played just six League games. Leeds signed him in July 1924 for £250. He played twice for Leeds in two days at West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur in March 1925, filling in for Joe Harris, who had temporarily switched to the right wing. However, he was never a regular and went to Accrington Stanley in June 1926, where he scored eight goals in forty-four League games. He had a spell at Connah’s Quay and Shotton in August 1928 before joining Bury in May 1929. At Gigg Lane he scored in his only League appearance. He later signed for Reading in June 1930, but did not play a League game and joined Non-League Guildford City before finishing his career at Doncaster Rovers from August 1931 to May 1934 with five goals in twenty-six League appearances. He died in Gateshead in March 1984.
