Paco Sanz Mora (born 15 November 2004) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for UD Almería B.
Born in Aravaca, Community of Madrid, Sanz began his career with hometown side Aravaca CF before joining Getafe CF's youth sides in 2019. In 2022, he moved to UD Almería and was assigned to the Juvenil A squad.[1]
Promoted to the reserves in Tercera Federación ahead of the 2023–24 season,[2] Sanz made his senior debut on 10 September 2023, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Atlético Malagueño. He scored his first senior goal the following 7 January, netting the B's fifth in a 6–0 home routing of FC Málaga City.[3]
Sanz made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 25 May 2024, coming on as a second-half substitute for Aleksandar Radovanović in a 6–1 home routing of Cádiz CF, as both sides were already relegated.[4] [5]
