Pablo Sánchez Alberto (born 24 January 1983) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for San Fernando CD as a left winger.

Football career

Born in Cádiz, Andalusia, Sánchez started playing football with local Cádiz CF, making his professional debuts on 20 December 2003 by coming on as a 76th-minute substitute in a 4–1 home win against CD Tenerife for the Segunda División championship; he spent the vast majority of his spell associated with the reserves, however, scoring 45 goals in the 2003–04 season to see them promote to Tercera División after six years.[1]

From 2004 to 2008, Sánchez represented Sevilla Atlético, the first two years on loan. In the 2006–07 campaign, he contributed with 37 games and four goals – playoffs included – to help the side reach the second level for the first time in 44 years.[2][3]

After helping Sevilla B retain their league status,[4] Sánchez continued competing in that tier in the following seasons, with UD Las Palmas and Recreativo de Huelva.[5] In 2011–12, he scored a career-best eight goals as the latter team ranked 17th and narrowly avoided relegation.[6]

Sánchez rejoined Cádiz for the 2012–13 campaign, with the club now in Segunda División B. He returned to division two in the subsequent off-season with CD Lugo[7] and, at already 31, moved abroad for the first time in his career after signing with Adelaide United FC in the A-League, where he shared teams with several compatriots including manager Josep Gombau.[8]

On 1 May 2016, shortly after having come on as an 86th-minute substitute for Marcelo Carrusca, Sánchez completed a 3–1 win against Western Sydney Wanderers FC for the A-League Grand Final, through a skillful finish.[9] Six days later, he was released.[10]
