After his loan spell and return to Monaco, manager Guy Lacombe placed him in the reserves. In June 2010, Martyin went on trial at Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire and English Championship side Blackpool. It was announced on 29 July 2010 that his contract with the club had been terminated, with two years left on his contract.
Blackpool

And in the Seasiders' first game in the competition on 20 July, a 2–1 win over Accrington Stanley, he was named "Man of the Match". On 11 August, Martin signed a one-year contract with Blackpool; however, he failed to feature in the 2010–11 season. At the end of the same season he was released by Blackpool.

Martin scored his 3rd goal on 24 March 2012, scoring a powerful shot from outside the area in a 1–1 draw against Bristol City. After the match, Bristol City manager Derek McInnes claimed Martin had changed the game and described his goal as a "fantastic strike". Martin believed his performance gave him a chance to stay in the first team. At the end of the 2011–12 season, Martin was offered a new contract with the club. The proposed contract was not signed and the existing contract ended by 1 July 2012. After his release from Middlesbrough, Martin went on trial with Championship rivals Barnsley.

In the 2007 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, held in Austria, Martin scored two goals in the 5–2 group stage victory over Serbia, as the French reached the semi-finals. He was picked out on the UEFA website as being a "name to note" for the future, after his performances (2 goals and 3 assists) for France under-19s at the 2007 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, held in Austria, when it was said of him: "Always looks composed on the ball and never seemed to give away possession in the engine room of a French side that at their best were as good as any in the tournament. Equally adept at passing short and long, he is also a free-kick specialist – witness his effort against Serbia."
