Born in Cartagena, Region of Murcia, Sabater joined Elche CF's youth setup in June 2019, from Valencia CF.[1] In 2023, after spending seven months nursing a knee injury,[2] he moved to hometown side FC Cartagena.[3]

Initially assigned to the Juvenil A, Sabater made his senior debut with the reserves on 17 September 2023, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 Segunda Federación home loss to Vélez CF. He made his first team debut on 6 December, starting in a 0–0 away draw (5–4 penalty win) against AD Alcorcón, for the season's Copa del Rey.[2][4]

On 2 July 2024, Sabater moved to another reserve team after agreeing to a two-year contract with Deportivo Aragón.[5]
