[13] He also scored 2 goals during the 2006 AFC Cup against Al-Nasr from Oman and FC Merw of Turkmenistan. [14] Both matches ended 1–3 and 2–2 respectively. [14] The next season Ranti Martins finished as joint top scorer with Odafe Onyeka Okolie with 16 goals. [15]

Martins then became one of the top scorers in the first season of the newly started I-League in 2007–08 when he scored 12 goals throughout the whole season, only ten goals behind the top scorer Odafe Onyeka Okolie, and tied with Somalian Mboyo Iyomi. [16] However it was enough to help Dempo win the I-League that season. With the I-League victory Dempo once again played in the AFC Cup in 2008 in which Martins ended up as the third top scorer of the tournament with eight goals as he helped Dempo reach the semi-finals where the club succumbed to Al-Safa of Lebanon by an aggregate score of 5–1. [17] Martins then however regressed during the next season of the I-League in the 2008–09 in which Martins finished with only nine goals as Dempo went on finish fourth in the league that season.

He scored his first brace for the club on 29 March against Salgaocar as Rangdajied United ran out 2–1 winners. [50]

East Bengal

On 30 April 2014 it was announced that Martins had signed a two-year contract with I-League runners-up East Bengal. [51] On joining the club, he commented "It's a privilege to join East Bengal. It will be something new for me but I don't see it as any pressure and instead look at it as a responsibility.". [52]

On 18 January 2015, Martins scored his first goal for the club in his league debut against Sporting Clube de Goa. [53] On 1 March 2015 Martins historically scored all five goals in a 5–1 win over his former club Dempo. [54] [55]

Penang FA

After playing for twelve years in India, Martins signed for Penang FA of the Malaysian Super League on 12 July 2016. He scored two goals in his debut match. [57]

Maryland SGFC Eagles

On 2 January 2017 it was announced that Martins has successfully penned a deal with Maryland-based SGFC Eagles which features in the American Soccer League. American Soccer League (ASL) is a developmental league that provides American soccer players with professional playing opportunities as well as a direct pathway into the major soccer leagues around the world. The club is being run by soccer enthusiast Americans. The SGFC has won all the titles in the amateur league in the northeast of America before being drafted by the American Professional Soccer league. [58]

International career

Martins, despite playing in the Indian I-League, believes that he has what it takes to play for his birth country Nigeria. According to Martins he had a chance to play for the Nigerian U20s but AFC Cup commitments and the Dempo president failing to tell Martins on time stopped that from happening. Martins also said that at one point an official from the Nigeria Football Federation arrived in India to watch him play a match and that he would be watching Martins. [6]

Martins also hit back at the question of how he would get a call-up if he was playing in the Indian league, a league considered lower standard for the Nigeria national team, by saying "I know that many people will begin to say that what is in India league, but I want to say here that the league in India is very strong. It is stronger than what we have in Nigeria because it is improving every season. More so, I want the handlers of the national team to look at the quality of the individuals and not where they play. I know my quality as a striker and I want the coaches, particularly Stephen Keshi to give an opportunity to prove myself. I won't disappoint him." [9]

Chance to play for Ghana

In 2003, Martins was using a Ghanaian passport from which his agent gave him and at one point he was offered the chance to join the Ghana U17s for the 2005 African U-17 Championship qualifiers. However Martins rejected the offer due to his loyalty towards Nigeria. Otherwise he might have been a Ghanaian International footballer. [6]
