SHERMAN, Texas - Texoma FC today announced the signing of 27-year-old defender Jordan Chavez, pending league and federation approval.

A Chula Vista, Calif. native, Chavez has spent most of his soccer career on the West Coast. His collegiate career saw him appear over 70 times for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas before kicking off his professional career in the USL Championship with San Diego Loyal SC in 2021.

"Speaking with the coaching staff, a lot of what they want to implement and the culture they are looking to build at the club caught my attention," said Chavez. "What did it for me was how much they wanted to help me as a player and as a person in this next chapter of my career and that is what ultimately made it an easy decision to want to sign for Texoma."

After his two-year stint in the Championship, Chavez moved to USL League One and Central Valley Fuego FC in 2022. His time in Fresno saw him accrue over 4,000 minutes for the team, scoring three goals and adding two assists as a defender. After his contract with Fuego FC ended, USL Championship side Orange County SC signed Chavez to a short-term contract. Chavez made 10 appearances for OCSC in 2024.

"Jordan is a player that piqued my interest as soon as he was put on my radar," said Texoma Head Coach Adrian Forbes. "A player with the right mix of experience and qualities that I was looking for in defense as well as, and most importantly, a fantastic person to have within our roster. Despite his experience, he still shows a clear desire to develop even more and that is key to what we want from our players at Texoma FC."
