Cristo Fernandez has signed with Texas side El Paso Locomotive, who played their first season in the USL Championship in 2019
Ted Lasso actor Cristo Fernandez has signed for American second-tier side El Paso Locomotive after a two-month trial.
The 35-year-old Mexican, who played Dani Rojas in the hit Apple TV+ programme between 2020 and 2023, will now take up a different role for the USL Championship side.
Fernandez played youth football in his home city of Guadalajara, but stepped away from the game at the age of 15 because of a knee injury.
Having moved to London, he was cast in Ted Lasso, which won multiple awards over its initial three-series run.
