Club career

Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Sánchez played youth football with hometown's Málaga CF, but never appeared as a senior for the club, eventually leaving in 2003. He went on to appear for several lower league teams over the following six seasons, never competing in higher than Segunda División B where he appeared for Real Murcia Imperial; he also represented CD Alhaurino, CD Baza and Real Betis B.[1]

Sánchez signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in Scotland on 1 August 2009,[2] following a trial period.[3] He made his debut the same day, in a 4–0 home win against Annan Athletic for the season's Scottish League Cup.[4]

Sánchez was released by Inverness in June 2011.[5] The following month he began a trial with A-League club Wellington Phoenix FC, appearing in pre-season against Miramar Rangers AFC just two hours after getting off the plane.[6] On 5 September, it was announced that he had signed a one-year contract.[7]

On 9 June 2013, Sánchez was released alongside four other players.[8] Subsequently, he took his game to the Hong Kong First Division League and the Thai Division 1 League.[9]
