Football career
Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Sánchez played youth football with hometown club Málaga CF in 2003, 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, with Real Murcia Imperial. He also represented CD Alhaurino, CD Baza and Real Betis B.[1][2]
Sánchez signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in Scotland on 1 August 2009,[3] following a trial period.[4] He made his club debut in the same day, in a 4–0 home win against Annan Athletic for the season's Scottish League Cup.[5]
Sánchez was released by Inverness in June 2011.[6] The following month, he began a trial with A-League club Wellington Phoenix FC, appearing in pre-season against Miramar Rangers just two hours after getting off the plane.[7] On 5 September, it was announced that he had signed a one-year contract.[8]
