Career

Martot was born in Fécamp. He rose through the youth system at Le Havre AC before playing for the club's B side in the 2001–02 season. 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 once. In 2004–05, Martot took part in only six games, adding 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. [2]

Martot joined Brighton on loan for a planned three-month period on 31 August 2007, the last day of the English transfer window. [3] He made his Albion debut during the 3–2 win over Southend on 1 September, playing on the right side of midfield. [4] 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. [5] His second goal was scored in a Football League Trophy game at home to Cheltenham in November 2007. [6]

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. [7]

On 6 May 2008, it was revealed that Martot, along with Sam Rents and Shane McFaul had been told they could all leave Brighton. Martot returned to his parent club Le Havre. [8]

The 2008–09 Coupe de la Ligue began on 19 August 2008, and its final was held on 25 April 2009 at the Stade de France. The former defending champions, Paris Saint-Germain, were initially barred from participating in the cup after a group of PSG supporters unfurled an offensive banner during last year's final. After PSG appealed the ban, however, the Tribunal Administratif de Paris judge vacated the ruling allowing PSG to defend their Coupe de la Ligue title. Due to this, a new draw was announced. French Football Federation (FFF) president Jean-Pierre Escalettes vowed to get the second ruling overturned, stating, "I won't give up," and, "I can't allow acts like this to go unpunished," but was unsuccessful. The winners of the Coupe de la Ligue qualified for the third qualifying round of the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League.
