OKLAHOMA CITY – Energy FC has signed forward Jaime Chavez, pending league and federation approval, Head Coach John Pascarella announced today. Chavez joins the club from USL Championship side Fresno FC.

Chavez, a 32-year-old from Industry, Calif., made 30 appearances for Fresno FC in 2019, scoring 13 goals and adding four assists. Chavez also previously played for the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Miami FC of the USL Championship, tallying 19 goals and 11 assists in 62 appearances.

“Jaime Chavez is your typical back-to-goal center forward,” said Pascarella. “He’s a guy you can play into, lays it off to his midfielders and turns and spins and gets back into the box. He can score goals in this league, and I really like his ability in holdup play.”

Chavez is the 12th player under contract for the 2020 season. He joins:

Goalkeepers: Cody Laurendi

Defenders: Zachary Ellis-Hayden, Atiba Harris, Kyle Hyland, Nicolas Taravel

Midfielders: Arun Basuljevic, Jonathan Brown, Rafael Garcia, Kodai Iida

Forwards: Cordell Cato, Omar Gordon
