context_page_description: Christopher Hugh Martin is a professional footballer who plays as a striker. He most recently played for Championship club Derby County. He has also played for the Scotland national team.
  Martin began his career at Norwich City, joining the club's books at the age of 10 and making his professional début at 18 in the 2006–07 season. He fell out of favour in the 2007–08 season and spent the 2008–09 season on loan at Luton Town. On his return to Norwich, he was an important first team player as the club recorded successive promotions from League One and the Championship in the 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons.
  However, upon the club's return to the Premier League, he found himself out of favour and spent part of the 2011–12 season on loan at Crystal Palace and parts of the 2012–13 season on loan at Swindon Town and Derby County. At the end of the season, he agreed a deal to join Derby on a permanent basis, signing a three-year contract and moving to the club on a free transfer ahead of the 2013–14 season. He ended the season as the club's top goalscorer, with 25 goals in all competitions, as the club reached the 2014 Championship play-off Final.
context_section_description: On 22 February 2013, Martin joined Derby County on loan for an initial one-month period. Martin made his Derby debut in a 2–1 loss at Watford on 23 February, as a half time substitute for Michael Jacobs. Martin started his first game for Derby on 1 March, in a 1–0 home defeat to former club Crystal Palace. He scored his first goal for Derby in the final game of his initial month, the club's second in their 2–1 win over local rivals Leicester City on 16 March. On 21 March, Derby extended Martin's loan stay to the end of the season. Martin scored a further goal in Derby's 3–1 win against Peterborough United on 20 April. He ended his loan spell with 2 goals in 13 appearances. He also scored against Cardiff on 6 March and against Ipswich Town on 6 April, but both goals were controversially ruled offside and did not stand. Manager Nigel Clough stated his intent to sign Martin on a permanent basis in the summer, with a deal reported to being close in early May.
