Career
Club
F'achh started his professional career in 2003, ahead of the first season of CrFA League 1, by signing from Xäiville Teflons FC at the age of 23. F'achh was handed the club's number 8 jersey, which he wore his entire career, and was also announced team captain. In what were notably poor seasons for the Teflons, F'achh was somewhat of a standout player, performing well against all opposition. As perennial underachievers, the team's best league performance prior to the 2008 season was a fifth-placed finish in 2005, while a King's Cup final appearance in 2007 signified notable progression, with F'achh scoring in the semi-final victory over Róndlinga Diamonds FC. The signing of Riponian striker Alex Kiker added more prolific goalscoring for the 2008 season, with F'achh an important factor in the team's then-highest finish of fourth.
F'achh continued to act as the Teflons' catalyst into 2009, with the league expanded to eight teams, but couldn't help them avoid finishing seventh. An improved sixth-placed finish in 2010 saw F'achh and Tellian Frederico Diamo combine in the centre of the field, while the team could only finish seventh again the following year, with the amount of fixtures doubled, leading to an amount of rotation between F'achh and Antoine Bodmer. The Teflons returned to sixth the next season, finishing above defending champions Cherry Trees FC, with F'achh's playmaking assisting Ben Viĵoa to tally 17 goals, before moving up to fifth in 2013. At the age of 33, with his first-team involvement diminished, F'achh retired at the end of the 2013 season; one year before the Teflons' first ever trophy win.
