Matiaha Martin (born 3 June 1992) is a New Zealand rugby union lock for Counties Manukau in the domestic Mitre 10 Cup.
Senior career
After coming through the ranks of Counties Manukau's under-18, B and development teams, Martin cracked the senior squad in 2016 Mitre 10 Cup. He took advantage of injuries to several key players to establish himself as a regular in a side which reached the premiership semifinals and lost to Canterbury. He played all eleven of the Steelers games during the campaign, nine from the start. He was drafted into the Chiefs squad shortly before the 2017 Super Rugby season.
