Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez says his time with Getafe left him rock bottom.
Martinez has detailed his career in a new Argentina documentary.
He recalled: "Arsenal decided to buy me and arriving so young at such a big club requires a very big hierarchy. I went on loan everywhere, I went to Getafe at 23 or 24 years old and I ended up playing eight games.
"They never put me on and I hit rock bottom."
Martinez says the birth of his son changed his approach.
"I never cut corners for myself, I always cut corners for someone else.
"Since my son was born, four years ago, I exploded. I have a personal psychologist that I needed, because I was at a point in my career where I didn't know where to go. It was one of the most correct decisions I made in my career."
