Mexican actor Cristo Fernandez, best known for his role as Dani Rojas on the popular television show Ted Lasso, is on trial with the El Paso Locomotive.
On Saturday, the 35-year old featured in a friendly for the Locos and has been training with the squad this week. Growing up, Fernandez played with Club Deportivo Estudiantes Tecos before a knee injury that led to him pursuing acting.
The Locomotive have not spoken on Fernandez’s performance, as he remains unsigned.
A decision on a professional contract is expected later this week.
