Alejandro 'Álex' Sánchez López (born 6 June 1989) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CA Osasuna as a striker.

He came to fame in 2009, when he became the first player to appear in a professional game with just one hand whilst representing Real Zaragoza.[1]

Football career

Born in Zaragoza, Aragon, Sánchez started his football career with local Colegio Jesús-María El Salvador, joining Real Zaragoza's youth system still in his teens. In 2008 he began playing as a senior in both the national and regional leagues, with its B and C-teams.

On 8 November 2009 Sánchez made his professional debut for the club, playing 20 minutes in the 1–3 La Liga away loss against Valencia CF after having come on as a substitute for Ángel Lafita.[2] He became the first player to appear in a professional game with only one hand,[1] but continued to be mainly registered with the reserves, however.

In mid-June 2011 Sánchez rejected the offer to continue playing with Zaragoza B,[3] going on to resume his career in Segunda División B with CD Teruel[4] and CD Tudelano.[5]

On 2 July 2015, after scoring 15 goals in the previous campaign, Sánchez signed a two-year deal with Segunda División side CA Osasuna.[6]
