Tony Alfaro is a Mexican-American center-back for El Paso Locomotive FC, known for his physicality, aerial dominance, and ability to play out from the back. Standing at 188 cm, the 32-year-old is a formidable presence in the heart of defense in the USL Championship. Alfaro's journey included college soccer in the U.S. before he was drafted into MLS. He gained valuable experience in MLS and then found a regular starting role in the USL with El Paso. He quickly became a defensive leader, organizing the backline and contributing with crucial goals from set-pieces. A key highlight was a dominant defensive performance in a playoff victory, where he made a last-ditch goal-line clearance. While a team trophy has eluded him so far, Alfaro's consistent performances have made him one of the most respected defenders in the league. His combination of strength and composure on the ball makes him a modern defender perfectly suited to his team's style of play.
