Career

Club career

edit

Saneto spent his early years playing for Kochi University. Kawasaki Frontale announced Saneto's transfer from Kochi University on 12 May 2010, marking the start of his professional career.[1] He spent the rest of the 2010 J.League Division 1 season without playing a single minute.

In the 2011 season, Saneto appeared in a total of 13 games, 12 in the league and 1 in the J.League Cup for Kawasaki Frontale. He became a regular the next year, making a total of 32 appearances in all competitions while also scored two goals for the club. However, his playing time decreased after the 2012 season, quite significantly in the 2014 season where he only made 13 appearances for the club. Saneto missed most of the 2015 J.League 1 season, as he only played for 4 minutes throughout the whole year.

At the start of 2016, it was announced that after five-and-a-half years of playing for Kawasaki Frontale, Saneto transferred to newly promoted Avispa Fukuoka.[2]
