Sometimes transferring to a new club is necessary for a player to develop. After beginning his career with the Portland Timbers, Marco Farfan has made two moves in the past two years. Both have brought increased success and set him on an upward trajectory. This season, the 23-year-old FC Dallas fullback has impressed observers, taking full advantage of his new surroundings.
Born in Portland, Oregon, Farfan joined the Portland Timbers academy in 2013, initially playing as a midfielder. While being named to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Western Conference Best XI, he was promoted to the club’s reserves in 2016.
