Club career
Born in La Tola in the Nariño Department of Colombia, Sánchez began his footballing career in the academy of former footballer Carlos Sarmiento Lora at the age of thirteen.[3][4] He later joined the academy of Deportivo Cali, initially on loan, and while progressing through the academy, he earned call-ups to the regional team of the Valle del Cauca Department.[3] In the 2013 edition of the Campeonato Nacional Interclubes, Sánchez finished as top scorer, with thirty-six goals in thirty games as Deportivo Cali won the title.[3][5]
He made his professional debut for Deportivo Cali on 10 March 2014, starting in an eventual 0–0 draw with Fortaleza C.E.I.F. in the Categoría Primera A.[3] Later in the same year, he was named in English newspaper The Guardian as one of the most promising young footballers born in 1997.[6][7]
In January 2015, he suffered a ruptured ACL injury, while ultimately stunted his development as a professional footballer.[6][8] Despite this, he signed a new contract with the club in June of the same year.[9]
In July 2016, having managed only two appearances (a total of six minutes) over the last two seasons, Sánchez was loaned to fellow Categoría Primera A side Deportivo Pasto.[10]
On his return to Deportivo Cali, he scored his first, and only, goal in professional football in a 2017 Copa Colombia game against Orsomarso.[4] He was loaned to Orsomarso the following year, managing eight Categoría Primera B appearances before a return to Deportivo Cali, where he decided to retire from professional football at the age of twenty-one.
International career
Sánchez represented Colombia at under-15 level, first being called up in January 2012 for the Mundialito Tahuichi in Bolivia, where he went on to score five goals.[3][4][11] He was called up to the Colombian under-20 side in April 2016 for a training camp.[12]
