Gżira United continued to bolster their squad with the arrival of Colombian midfielder Santiago Martinez.

Martinez, 27, joins the Maroons on a one-year deal after spending the past Premier League campaign on the books of Melita.

In the 2024/2025 season, Martinez made 14 appearances and scored 1 goal across all domestic competitions.

Martinez played 31 matches and scored 5 goals, together with 9 assists with Melita having also played in the Challenge League with them.

Previously, he had spells at St. Andrews (45 matches, 8 goals, 24 assists), Mosta (5 matches, 1 assist) and Naxxar Lions (4 matches, 1 goal).

The arrival of Martinez comes a day after Gżira welcomed back Premier League top scorer Maxuell, who put pen to paper on a two-year contract.
