Guy Sanders began his career as a trainee with Reading FC. He eventually captained the club's Youth Team and was given a professional contract. He did not make a first team appearance but was an ever-present for the reserves in 1996-7, playing at both centre half and centre forward.

He was released and joined Bedworth United, playing well over 200 games and captaining the side during his 5 years there. Whilst at Bedworth he had trails at Lincoln City where he was offered a pro contract but turned it down.

In the summer of 2002 he joined Moor Green (now Solihull Moors), making over 200 appearances for the club before being released on loan to Bromsgrove Rovers, in a move designed to bring him to fitness after suffering a shoulder injury.

Guy made his full debut for Bromsgrove in the 0-1 away defeat to Evesham United in the 1st Qualifying Round of the FA Trophy, played on 21 October 2007.

He signed for Leamington just before Christmas 2007 and is thought by many to have been a superb acquisition.
