Héctor Arturo Sanhueza Medel (born 11 March 1979) is a Chilean footballer who currently plays for Cobreloa as a midfielder.
Born in Concepción, Bío-Bío Region, Sanhueza started his career at hometown club Fernández Vial before moving to Everton, where he would spend an entire season. After Vina del Mar team's relegation, he moved to crosstown rivals Santiago Wanderers, led by Jorge Garcés, where he helped to win the 2001 league title.
Following three seasons at Valparaíso-based team, in 2005, he signed for Chilean powerhouse Colo-Colo after rejecting an offer from Mexico's Atlante. Nevertheless, with Claudio Borghi arrival to the bench, Sanhueza became an undisputed player in the Apertura and Clausura titles as well as in the Copa Sudamericana which Colo-Colo was runner-up.
In December 2006, he was heavily linked with Argentinian giants Boca Juniors which wanted sign him to replace Fernando Gago, who left Boca for Real Madrid.
After other four seasons playing for Colo-Colo where won four league titles as captain, in December 2010 he wasn't considered by coach Diego Cagna and the club held a farewell for him during a press conference.
