Juan José "Juanjo" Sánchez Romero (born 22 March 2000), sometimes known as just Juanjo, is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder for CD Tenerife.

Career

Born in Lebrija, Seville, Andalusia, Juanjo played for Real Betis, CA Antoniano and Cádiz CF (although only in affiliate side Balón de Cádiz CF) as a youth.[1] After finishing his formation with Antoniano, he made his first team debut in 2018 and went on to establish himself as a starter for the club afterwards.[2]

On 21 June 2020, Juanjo moved to Segunda División B side CF Rayo Majadahonda.[3] Mainly a backup option, he renewed his contract until 2026 on 20 July 2022,[4] but immediately returned to Betis on loan, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda Federación.[5]

Back to the Majariegos in July 2023, Juanjo was again a backup option before moving to fellow Primera Federación side Mérida AD on 31 January of the following year.[6] On 23 May 2024, he renewed his contract for a further year.[7]

On 24 June 2025, Juanjo agreed to a three-year deal with CD Tenerife, freshly relegated to division three.[8] He was an undisputed starter for the side during the campaign, scoring once in 39 matches overall as they returned to Segunda División at first attempt.[9]

Sánchez made his professional debut on 16 August 2026, starting in a 3–1 away win over SD Eibar.[10]
