Jonathan Alexis Sandoval Rojas (born 25 June 1987) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Argentine Liga Tucumana de Fútbol side Graneros.[2]
Sandoval's senior career began in 2006 with Uruguayan Primera División side River Plate.[3] He made fourteen appearances before being loaned out to Liga Nacional de Fútbol de Guatemala club Heredia.[3] He failed to make an appearance prior to returning to River Plate.[3] In 2008, Sandoval joined Sud América of the Uruguayan Segunda División on loan. He scored six times in thirteen appearances.[3] 2009 saw Sandoval loaned out twice to Primera División club Cerro Largo and Segunda División club Rentistas. In total, for both, he made twenty-one appearances and scored twice.[3] He made two final appearances for River Plate in 2010–11.[2]
On 23 January 2011, Sandoval completed a permanent transfer to Montevideo Wanderers.[2] He made his league debut on 5 February versus Nacional, while he scored his first two goals for Montevideo against El Tanque Sisley on 3 April. In three seasons with the team, Sandoval scored eight goals in sixty matches.[2] He joined Peñarol in 2013 and made his debut against his former club, River Plate, in August.[2][4] After twenty-two apps for Peñarol, Sandoval had a short spell with Liverpool in 2016 before joining Primera B Nacional side Argentinos Juniors later that year.[2][5][6]
He scored on his Argentinos debut, getting their second goal in a 2–2 draw with San Martín.[2] In that season, Sandoval participated in thirty Primera B Nacional fixtures and scored three goals as Argentinos won promotion to the Argentine Primera División by winning the 2016–17 title.[2][7] He made his 200th career appearance on 26 February 2018 during a 2–0 loss against Talleres.[2]
In January 2022, Sandoval was loaned out to Colón from Argentinos Juniors until the end of the year.[8] However, the loan was cut short and Sandoval was instead loaned out to Atlético Tucumán on 12 June 2022, until the end of the year.[9]
