Club career

Born in Tarbes, Hautes-Pyrénées, Fachan began his career at the age of six at F.C. Castelmaurou, joining AS Villeneuve in Haute-Garonne seven years later. In 2004, he moved to Tarbes Pyrénées Football where his father Jean-Louis coached, to complete his formation.[1]

In summer 2007, Fachan signed with Ligue 1 club AJ Auxerre, playing almost exclusively with its reserves. Two years later he was released and left for Ukraine, joining FC Dynamo Kyiv.[2] On 26 July 2009, he left the team, however,[3] returning immediately to his homeland.

In late August 2009, Fachan moved to Gimnàstic de Tarragona in Spain.[4][5] He made his Segunda División debut on 12 September against Real Sociedad, replacing veteran Mingo for the second half of a 1–2 home defeat.[6]

Fachan did not appear in any league games in the 2010–11 season. On 10 August 2011, Nàstic and the player mutually agreed to terminate his contract[7] and, shortly after, he signed with another side in the country, Segunda División B's Deportivo Alavés.[8]

Fachan returned to France subsequently, where he represented, always in the Championnat National, USJA Carquefou, RC Strasbourg and USL Dunkerque. He scored a career-best seven goals for the latter club during 2017–18, mostly from penalties.[9] On 28 October 2017, during a match against Rodez AF, he was involved in a fight with teammate Cédric Tuta as both wished to hit from the 11-meter mark;[10] the latter, who eventually scored in the 1–3 home loss, was cut from the squad shortly after,[11] and Fachan himself left the at the end of the campaign.[12]

In September 2018, Fachan joined Étoile Fréjus Saint-Raphaël of the Championnat National 2.[13] Towards the end of the 2020 January transfer window, he moved to fellow league club Bergerac Périgord FC.[14]

International career

Fachan was first selected for France's under-19 team in December 2008, appearing on the 12th against Italy at Rende.[1]
