FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno Football Club has announced the signing of midfielder Juan Pablo Caffa, pending league and federation approval. Caffa, 33, brings an impressive resume to Fresno, having played two years in Spain’s La Liga with Real Betis. He most recently finished his first season in the USL as captain of Tulsa Roughnecks FC, and was an All-League Second Team spot in the process.

“We’ve found our set piece specialist in Juan Caffa,” said general manager Frank Yallop. “He’s an exceptional player who was named All-League in his first season in the USL. He not only brings depth to our roster, but is another seasoned professional that we’ll look to help guide our younger signings.”

Caffa made 27 starts in 29 appearances for Roughnecks FC in 2017. He scored nine goals, including three from set pieces, and led his club in key passes (74) and assists (8) to help Tulsa reach the postseason for the first time in franchise history. Caffa’s 74 chances created were second-most in the USL, only two behind Oscar Jimenez of league champion Louisville City FC.
