[edit] Football career

Martin Drent started his career at amateur club GVAV Rapiditas in 1991. His career in amateur football was short lived, however, as he proved his quality, signing for Eredivisie side FC Groningen in 1992. He played very few games at Groningen and left after just one season to join BV Veendam where he was a relative success. In 1998 he signed for FC Emmen where he played for seven years. He returned to Groningen in 2005 where he scored 22 goals in his first season back at the club, helping them achieve promotion from the Eerste Divisie. In January 2007 he returned to another former club BV Veendam where he retired at the end of the season.

He is currently the Commercial Director of BV Veendam.
