Club career

Born in Ansó, Huesca, Aragon, Sánchez was a SD Huesca youth graduate. On 20 April 2014, while still a junior, he made his first-team debut by coming on as a second-half substitute for Tariq Spezie and scoring his team's second in a 3–2 away win against Atlético Madrid B in the Segunda División B.

Sánchez moved to Real Madrid in July 2014, after having previously agreed a contract in April; he was assigned to the C-team in the Tercera División.[1] On 5 July of the following year he joined another reserve team, CA Osasuna B still in the fourth tier.[2]

On 16 December 2015, after discovering a heart problem, Sánchez announced his retirement from football at the age of 20.[3] The following 18 October, he returned to action with AD Sabiñánigo.[4]

Sánchez returned to Huesca in June 2017, being initially assigned to the farm team.[5] He made his professional debut on 6 September, replacing Íñigo López in a 0–2 home loss against Real Valladolid in the season's Copa del Rey.[6]

He joined SD Tarazona on 1 January 2019 on loan for the rest of the season.[7] He joined the club on a permanent basis at the end of the loan spell.
