David Martinez News: Bench option again for 2025

Martinez logged in 13 starts in 30 MLS appearances (including the playoffs) during the 2025 season.

Martinez has continued in his impactful sub role since 2024, consistently providing valuable contributions off the bench throughout the 2025 campaign. He finished the season with three goals and five assists, averaging roughly 2.9 combined shots and crosses per 90 minutes. The past two seasons have served as important development periods for the 19‑year‑old, who will enter 2026 already in his third MLS season before turning 20, well positioned for even greater growth and influence with LAFC.
