Club career

Born in Sonseca, Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Sánchez graduated from CD Toledo's youth setup, after stints at AD Diana and CD Sonseca.[1] After appearing with the former's reserve team, he made his first team debut on 25 August 2013 by coming on as a substitute for Rufino in a 1–3 Segunda División B away loss against UB Conquense.

Sánchez scored his first and only goal for Toledo on 1 September 2013, netting a last-minute equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against SD Huesca. The following 25 July, he renewed his contract until 2017, but remained assigned to the B-side;[2] he was only promoted to the main squad in August 2015.[3]

On 18 July 2016 Sánchez joined another reserve team, Sporting de Gijón B in Tercera División.[4] After scoring ten goals in only 18 matches (which included braces against CD Praviano and CD Mosconia in October), he made his first team debut on 21 December, replacing Burgui and scoring his team's only in a 1–3 loss at SD Eibar for the season's Copa del Rey.[5]

Sánchez made his La Liga debut on 7 January 2017, again from the bench in a 0–1 away loss against UD Las Palmas.[6] On 7 July he moved to another reserve team, Granada CF B in the third division.[7]
