When fully fit, Martins was consistent in the Seattle Sounders line - up in 2015 and scored 15 goals in 24 appearances in the MLS.

His impressive displays in the American top - flight did not go unnoticed, with Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh handing him a recall to the national team for the World Cup qualifiers against Swaziland in November.
