So today I woke up thinking about that young footballer Oihan Sancet. You know, the guy playing his heart out? Really wanted to know exactly when he kicked off his pro career. Like, what year did it all begin?
Started easy. Figured Wikipedia would spit out the answer quick. Typed “Oihan Sancet” into the search bar. Boom, page pops up. Scrolled down fast to “Career” section. Yeah, saw he joined Osasuna’s youth system way back when, but the page kept waffling about his youth stuff. Didn’t clearly shout out that first real, senior, getting-paid-for-it debut year. Annoying.
Okay, scratch that. Thought maybe Twitter or some news site might have bragged about it when he first started. Searched for stuff like “Oihan Sancet debut date” and “Sancet first professional match”. Found articles mostly talking about his goals or assists now, or mentioning he was a talent… but still, no clear cut date or year for that very first senior game. What a pain. Kept digging.
Remembered club websites sometimes have proper player profiles with good history. Headed straight for the official CA Osasuna site. Found Sancet in the squad list. Profile had his bio. There it was!
- Born on April 25th, 2000.
- Came through Osasuna’s youth ranks.
- The key bit: His senior career kick-off was with Osasuna B way back in the 2017-2018 season. That’s when he started playing for the reserves.
- Then, climbed up to the big league, the main Osasuna squad, in the 2019-2020 season.
So, putting it together? While I was chasing his first ever senior match debut year for the timeline, turns out he started professionally for Osasuna B back in 2017. That’s the year his professional journey officially began, playing competitive senior football, even if it was for the reserve team first. All that searching just to pin down 2017 as the start! Feels kinda silly now, but hey, got it confirmed.
