Born in Murcia, Sánchez was a Real Murcia youth graduate and made his debut as a senior with the reserves in 2006 in the Tercera División. In August 2010, he was loaned to Segunda División B side Real Jaén for one season.[1]

Juanjo continued to compete in the third level in the following years, representing Lorca Atlético CF, La Roda CF,[2] Gimnàstic de Tarragona,[3] UD Melilla,[4] and Cádiz CF.[5] He was promoted to Segunda División with the latter team in 2016, appearing in 29 matches (play-offs included).

Garrido made his professional debut on 19 August 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Luis Ruiz in a 1-1 away draw against UD Almería.[6] He left the Estadio Ramón de Carranza the following 19 January by mutual consent,[7] and returned to his first club, Murcia, just hours later.[8]
