Club career
editBorn in Segorbe, Castellón, Valencian Community, Chanza played for Villarreal CF, Valencia CF and Real Valladolid as a youth.[1] On 28 July 2017, he signed for Tercera División side CD Eldense,[2] but spent the campaign as a backup to veteran Chema.
On 30 July 2018, Chanza moved to UD Ibiza in Segunda División B,[3] being the third-choice option in the main squad while playing for farm teams Ciudad de Ibiza CF and CF Sant Rafel. On 5 July 2021, after the main squad's promotion to Segunda División, he renewed his contract for a further year.[4]
A backup to Germán Parreño and Álex Domínguez in 2021–22, Chanza played regularly for Sant Rafel as they suffered relegation. Still a third-choice to Germán and Daniel Fuzato in 2022–23, he made his professional debut on 20 May 2023, replacing Germán late into a 1–0 home win over Real Zaragoza, as his side were already relegated.[5][6]
Chanza moved to Segunda Federación side Utebo FC in 2023, and renewed his contract for a further year on 22 April 2024.[7]
