Tabor is increasingly looking at the South American market, specifically at Colombia, from where two young footballers have arrived in Sežana this summer. Not long ago, 2. SNL club signed Jhon Pajaro, a 19-year-old forward, and now another contract until 2026 has been signed by Juan Castilla, also a 19-year-old central midfielder.
Juan Castilla is a footballer born in Cali who has been a member of Deportivo Pasto from the top Colombian league. Interestingly, he holds both a Colombian passport and United States citizenship. At the national team level, he has played for both countries! He was a youth national team player for the USA, and at the beginning of this year, he wore the jersey of Colombia’s U23 team, which unsuccessfully competed in the Olympic qualifiers for the Paris games.
Juan Castilla was also previously a member of Deportivo Cali and trained in the youth academy of Houston Dynamo, which competes in MLS. He moved to Texas when he was just 11 years old and later progressed to the first team in Houston. He played twice in MLS, and upon his debut in 2021 against Colorado, he became the youngest debutant in the club’s history.
As mentioned, he has now signed for Tabor, but he will have to wait to start his adventure in Slovenia. As we have learned, he will be immediately loaned back to Colombia. In the best-case scenario, he could don Tabor’s jersey after the winter break.
