FC Dallas ‘ playing system gave Martey a lot of freedom to push forward, and he took full advantage of it, consistently showing up in the attacking half. The right back used his pace and dribbling to make plays out wide and delivered good crosses into the box. Martey was involved in Dallas’ first goal in a play in which he followed up on a long ball, timed his run extremely well, and was very direct when taking it into the box to finish. Despite his offensive-minded nature, the outside back also played excellent defense, staying in front of opponents when they attempted to make plays on his zone, clearing long balls in the air and using his pace to recover and close opponents down.

Martey plays for the FC Dallas team that will be challenged by LAFC, Indy Eleven and Miami Futbol AR in Group T of the tournament’s U17 Division. Originally an outside back, he’s been playing full-time on the wing now, where his strong offensive skills make of him more of a threat. A Ghanaian youth international, Martey is very quick and direct on the ball and uses his pace and dribbling ability to beat defenders 1v1. He can also overcome opponents by combining with teammates out wide and provides great service into the box, scanning his options efficiently, making the right choice and being very accurate with his delivery.
