Club career
Born in Valladolid, Castile and León, Sanz started playing football with Real Valladolid Promesas. Following a brief spell with UP Langreo,[1] he signed with AD Alcorcón also from Segunda División B, where he remained until his retirement more than one decade later.[2]
Sanz appeared in only 19 games in his first season in the Segunda División, 2010–11 (out of 42), but became an undisputed starter as in his previous years from there onwards.[3][4] He was also in Alcorcón's starting XI in the club's 4–0 home thrashing of Real Madrid in the 2009–10 edition of the Copa del Rey (4–1 aggregate win).[5][6]
On 24 June 2016, after 432 competitive appearances, Sanz left the Alfareros and joined neighbours CF Fuenlabrada as a free agent.[7][8]
