And when Charles Itandje was injured he was an unused substitute in a number of first team matches.[3]
On 23 February 2007 he was signed by Football League Two club, Accrington Stanley on loan for a month.[4] However, he was injured within five minutes of his debut, without even touching the ball, against Lincoln City, damaging his ankle which ruled him out for the rest of his loan spell and he returned to Liverpool.[5] After regaining his fitnes he returned to Accrington on loan for the rest of the season,[6] making his comeback in a 1–0 win over Torquay United,[7] and helping the club avoid relegation to the Conference National.[8]

On 4 August 2008, Martin joined League One team Leicester City on a six-month loan,[10] making his debut in a 1-0 home win over Stockport on August 12.[11] In December, Martin's loan deal at Leicester was extended until the end of the season.[12] He revealed on 30 January 2009 that he wants a permanent move to Leicester, having made 13 clean sheets in 26 appearances for the club.[13]
