Pablo Sánchez Alberto (born 24 January 1983) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a left winger.
He amassed Segunda División totals of 215 matches and 34 goals over seven seasons, mainly in service of Recreativo (three years). He played top-flight football in Australia with Adelaide United, winning the A-League in 2016.
Born in Cádiz, Andalusia, Sánchez started playing football with local Cádiz CF, making his professional debut on 20 December 2003 by coming on as a 76th-minute substitute in a 4–1 home win against CD Tenerife in the Segunda División; 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 37 games and four goals – playoffs included – to help the side to reach the second division for the first time in 44 years.[2] [3] [4]
After helping Sevilla B retain their league status,[5] Sánchez continued competing in that tier the following seasons, with UD Las Palmas and Recreativo de Huelva.[6] In 2011–12, he scored a career-best eight goals as the latter team ranked 17th and narrowly avoided relegation.[7]
Sánchez rejoined Cádiz for the 2012–13 campaign, with the club now in the Segunda División B. He returned to division two in the subsequent off-season with CD Lugo[8] 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.[9]
On 1 May 2016, shortly after having replaced Marcelo Carrusca in the 86th minute, Sánchez completed a 3–1 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers FC in the A-League Grand Final, through a skillful finish.[10] Six days later, he was released.[11]
