Aaron Martin (born 29 September 1989) is an English former professional footballer who played as a centre-back.
He began his career with non-League club Eastleigh before turning professional with Southampton in November 2009. He spent time on loan at Conference Premier club Salisbury City towards the end of the 2009–10 campaign and then played 18 league games across the course of two successive promotions that took Southampton from League One into the Premier League. He spent the 2012–13 season on loan at Crystal Palace and Coventry City, and after missing the first half of the 2013–14 season through injury, his Southampton contract was ended by mutual consent in January 2014.
He signed with Birmingham City and played eight Championship games before joining Yeovil Town in June 2014. He rejoined Coventry City on loan in October 2014 and signed permanently with the club three months later. Released by Coventry, he signed with Oxford United in June 2016, where he would remain for two years before moving on to Exeter City. He played for Exeter in the 2020 League Two play-off final, which ended in defeat. He signed with Hamilton Academical of the Scottish Premiership in November 2020 and returned to England at the end of the 2020–21 campaign to sign for Port Vale. He helped the club to win promotion out of League Two via the play-offs in 2022 before returning to the South of England later in the summer to rejoin Eastleigh for two years.
