Early life

Marteene was in Moranbah, Queensland, Australia.

Marteene played his junior rugby league for the Clermont Bears.

Playing career

Marteene made his first grade debut for Canterbury in 1996 against Newcastle. In 1997, Marteene won the reserve grade premiership with the club after defeating Auckland in the final. He played at centre for Canterbury in their loss to Brisbane in the 1998 NRL grand final. Over the following years, Marteene spent most of his time with Canterbury in reserve grade and was occasionally called into the first grade team.

In 2004, Marteene joined South Sydney. In a Round 4 match against Cronulla, Marteene was deliberately kneed in the head by Cronulla player Gred Bird. Bird was then sent off and later suspended for 10 weeks. After the incident, Bird personally apologized to Marteene and wrote a letter of apology to the South Sydney club. At the end of 2004, Souths finished last on the table. Marteene played on with Souths in 2005 but made a mid season switch to St George before retiring at the end of the year. [2] [3]
