Club career

Born in

youth setup from CA Osasuna in 2015.[2] On 18 June 2018, he was called up to pre-season with the first-team by manager Eduardo Berizzo.[3]

Sancet made his senior debut with the reserves on 25 August 2018, starting and opening a 2–0 Segunda División B home win against CD Tudelano.[4] In early September he suffered a knee injury (a tear to his left anterior cruciate ligament),[5] returning to action the following March.[6]

For the 2019–20 season, Sancet was included in the main squad by manager Gaizka Garitano.[7] He made his professional and La Liga debut on 16 August 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Óscar de Marcos in the 1–0 home victory over FC Barcelona.[8] On 27 June – his sixth league start – he scored his first goal in a 3–1 defeat of RCD Mallorca also at San Mamés.[9] By December 2020, he had reached sufficient milestones to trigger a €150,000 development payment to Osasuna.[10]

On 3 January 2022, Sancet scored a hat-trick to help his side come from behind at Osasuna to win 3–1.[11] It was the first hat-trick in the league scored by an Athletic player since Aritz Aduriz in 2016,[12] with Sancet the youngest scorer of three in a match for the club since Julen Guerrero in 1994 and the first from Navarre to do so for any club against Osasuna,[13] as well as being the first goals he had scored for the senior team away from Bilbao.[12]

On 3 February 2023, Sancet scored three times in a 4–1 home win over Cádiz CF.[14] In April, he extended his contract until 2032.[15]

In the 2024 Copa del Rey final against Mallorca, Sancet scored Athletic's equalising goal at the start of the second half. His side went on to win the trophy via a penalty shootout.[16]

International career

Sancet earned his first cap for Spain at under-21 level on 10 October 2019, in a 1–1 friendly draw with Germany held in Córdoba.[17] He played all the matches for the runners-up at the 2023 UEFA European Championship, scoring in the 5–1 semi-final defeat of Ukraine.[18][19]

In October 2023, Sancet received his first call-up to the senior team for two UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers with Scotland and Norway.[20] He made his debut as a substitute against Scotland in Seville, and scored the second goal of a 2–0 win four minutes from time (described initially as an own goal by Ryan Porteous in some reports).[21][22]
