Garforth agree deal to sign Cafu
Former AC Milan and Brazil right-back Cafu has been lined up to play for Unibond Northern League team Garforth Town next year.
The club's manager, Simon Clifford, has played down talk of a move in January but has persuaded the 38-year-old to join before the end of the season.
"He's likely to be coming in April to just play a few games," said Clifford.
Clifford runs the Brazilian Soccer Schools coaching organisation and has built up a number of contacts in the game.
In 2004 he attracted Brazil legends Socrates and Careca to play for the club and the addition of Cafu is another major coup for the West Yorkshire town.
Just last season the World Cup winner was plying his trade with AC Milan but was without a club having being released in the summer after five years at the San Siro.
He is Brazil's most capped player of all time having played 142 times for his country and has won the World Cup twice - in 1994 and 2002
