Brent Sancho CM (born 13 March 1977 in Port of Spain) is a Trinidadian former football player and politician. In February 2015, he became the Minister of Sports for his home country, Trinidad and Tobago.
Sancho spent his college years playing for St. John's University in New York City, where he was part of the school's only National Championship, in 1996.
Sancho then spent most of his early career playing in the United States, before joining Dundee in the 2003/04 season. A successful spell in the SPL was followed by a transfer to League One side Gillingham.
In December 2007 Sancho joined Millwall on a month's contract. This was not renewed and he found himself once again without a club until signing for Scottish Football League Division Two champions Ross County, in March 2008 until the end of the 2007–08 season. Sancho went on trial with Wrexham A.F.C. in July 2008 but was not signed by the club.
On 30 June 2008, the TTFF reported that Sancho had been training with TT Pro League team San Juan Jabloteh and Wrexham in an effort to regain a place with the national team as well as further his professional career. Eventually, Sancho returned to the USA in August 2008, joining the Atlanta Silverbacks and playing in eight matches in the remaining part of the season.
On 26 February 2009 the Rochester Rhinos announced the signing of Sancho to a two-year contract.
