Career

Sato started his professional career in the J2 League. In 2010,[1] after a trial with the Primera División de México club Puebla FC, he signed a 4-year contract. The same year he was sent on loan to FB Gulbene, that time playing in the Latvian First League, in order to gain experience before joining Puebla FC back from loan. He scored 10 goals in 7 games there, attracting interest from other Latvian clubs. In March, 2011 he signed a contract with Virsliga club FK Ventspils for one season. He managed to win the Latvian Cup with the team, beating Liepājas Metalurgs in the final.[2] He played 12 matches there, without scoring any goals before being transferred to another Latvian Higher League team Skonto Riga in August 2011. Sato played 38 league matches, scoring 3 goals for Skonto during 2 seasons in the Latvian Higher League with the club. In March 2013 he was transferred to the Belarusian Premier League club Dinamo Brest.[3]

In March 2014 Sato signed a two-year contract with FC Bunyodkor in the Uzbek League,[4][5][6] and upon making his debut became Bunyodkor's 25th foreign representative.[7]
