BIO
Ben Martino is entering his first season with the Riverhounds SC First Team in 2025.
Martino played the past two seasons with Huntsville City FC, Nashville SC’s reserve team in MLS Next Pro. He began his youth career in the Riverhounds Development Academy, making him the second player to sign a professional deal with the First Team after previously playing for the Hounds’ youth teams.
Martino played in the RDA through the age of 16, when he left to join the Philadelphia Union Academy. The goalkeeper made his senior-level debut in the USL Championship at age 17, appearing in three matches as an academy player with Philadelphia Union II before graduating and playing college soccer at Virginia Tech.
After two seasons with the Hokies, Martino turned pro with Nashville, which acquired his rights from the Union. In two seasons in MLS Next Pro, Martino made 30 appearances and recorded three clean sheets for Huntsville.
