Sanz scored his first senior goal on 9 February 2013, netting the winner in a 2–1 home defeat of CD Izarra.[2] He subsequently became a regular starter for Sanse, being a team captain in the process.

On 16 July 2018, free agent Sanz signed a one-year deal with Segunda División side CD Numancia.[3] He made his professional debut on 18 August, replacing Pape Maly Diamanka late into a 3–3 away draw against Córdoba CF.

On 10 June 2019, Sanz extended his contract with the Soria outfit until 2022.[4] The following 18 January, he was loaned to CD Castellón in the third division for six months,[5] and helped the latter side achieve promotion to the second division.

On 24 September 2020, Sanz signed for CD Atlético Baleares in division three.[6] The following 27 January, he moved abroad and signed for FC Inter Turku in Finland.[7]
