A look at the goalkeeper's early career.

Robert Sanchez signed his first professional contract for the Seagulls in June 2015 and has since established himself as first-choice goalkeeper in the club's under-23 team.

The goalkeeper, who was born in Cartagena, Spain, started his career playing in Levante's academy, before moving to England at the age of 17.

The Spaniard impressed during the 2016/17 Premier League 2 (Division 2) season with a number of positive performances, and featured three times in the Checkatrade Trophy, making a string of fine saves against Coventry City in the knockout stages.
