Thabo Fourie

This charismatic South African center-back dominates the backline with explosive leaping ability and a tenacious, iron-willed defensive presence. After shattering his wrist in a freak gym accident that nearly ended his dream, he transformed that period of vulnerability into the fuel that drives his hyper-aggressive and surgically precise tackling. Though he can sometimes be reckless due to his fiery temperament, his defensive IQ makes him a formidable nightmare for any striker.
