Sanchez joined the club from Spanish side Levante in 2013 and played in Albion’s age group teams, while also spending loan spells with Forest Green Rovers and Rochdale.
His performances have seen him replace Mat Ryan as the club’s No 1 choice in goal, with the Australia international subsequently joining Arsenal on loan until the end of the season.
