MARTIS put pen to paper on a two-year Hawthorns deal, plus a further year's option in the club's favour, in July 2007 after sealing a £50,000 move from SPL outfit Hibernian.
The 6ft 1in centre-half linked up again with former Hibs boss Tony Mowbray, who took the Dutchman to Easter Road from Darlington in August 2006.
However, Dutch Antilles international Martis was restricted to two senior appearances during the first season of his Albion career.
He joined Scunthorpe on a month's loan in January 2008 to gain Championship experience before returning to The Hawthorns.
Martis started his career with hometown club Excelsior before being snapped up by FC Eindhoven.
He joined the Quakers in July 2005 and made an immediate impact at the heart of defence to scoop the club's Player-of-the-Year award.
Martis became renowned for being strong in the air and a pinpoint long-range passer of the ball during his time at Hibs.
