Martin Vunk (born 21 August 1984) is a retired Estonian professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career

Vunk was named the Meistriliiga Player of the Year for his performances for Flora in 2008. On 21 November 2009, he signed a two-year loan deal with Syrianska.[1] On 5 January 2011, he signed a one and a half-year contract with Nea Salamis Famagusta, previously released for that deal by Flora.[2] On 25 July 2012, he signed a two-year contract with the Greek club Panachaiki.

On 9 February 2013, he signed a one-year contract with Sillamäe Kalev.[3]

On 22 February 2014, he signed a one-year contract with Nõmme Kalju.

On 9 December 2014, he signed a one-year contract with Persija Jakarta.[4] However, due to financial trouble the 2015 Indonesia Super League season was cancelled and in the end of May Vunk released himself of the contract.[5]

International career

On 27 February 2008, he debuted for Estonia in a friendly match against Poland, when he came on as a substitute in the 67th minute.[6] He instantly became a regular and was the only player to appear in all 14 matches for the team in that year.[7] On 6 September 2011, Vunk scored his first International goal for Estonia in a 4–1 victory over Northern Ireland[8][9] after being very close to his first international goal in the previous game against Slovenia.[10]
