Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Winifreda, La Pampa, Furch started his career with hometown Club Social y Deportivo Winifreda at the age of five. Aged ten, he moved to Club Deportivo Mac Allister, but returned to Deportivo Winifreda at the age of 15.[2]

Furch was promoted to Winifreda's first team in 2006.[3] In 2008, he moved to All Boys de Santa Rosa [es],[4] scoring once in the year's Torneo Argentino C,[5] but returned to Winifreda to study in a university;[2] he scored ten goals in the year's Liga Cultural [es] for the club, being the competition's top goalscorer.

Olimpo

[edit]

In December 2008, Furch was invited on a trial at Olimpo, and signed a contract with the club shortly after.[6] Initially assigned to the reserves which competed in the Liga del Sur [es], he scored 16 goals in 24 matches[7] before being promoted to the first team by manager Omar De Felippe in May 2010.[8]

Furch made his first team debut for Olimpo on 9 May 2010, coming on as a late substitute for Alejandro Delorte in a 1–0 Primera B Nacional away loss against Independiente Rivadavia, as the club were already promoted. He made his Primera División debut on 8 August, replacing Diego Galván in a 2–1 loss at Banfield.

Furch scored his first professional goal on 24 October 2010, scoring Olimpo's first in a 3–2 away loss to Tigre. He subsequently started to feature regularly for the club, as they suffered relegation in 2012.

Loan to San Lorenzo

[edit]

On 20 July 2012, Furch was loaned to San Lorenzo in the top tier.[9] He made his debut for the club on 5 August, replacing Denis Stracqualursi late into a 2–1 home win over San Martín de San Juan, but only featured in nine matches before being deemed surplus to requirements by manager Juan Antonio Pizzi in December.[10]

Loan to Arsenal de Sarandí

[edit]

Furch left San Lorenzo in January 2013, and joined Arsenal de Sarandí on loan for six months.[11] He featured more regularly at his new club, and subsequently renewed his loan for a further year in July.

Belgrano

[edit]

On 9 August 2014, Furch signed a 18-month deal with Belgrano also in the first division.[12] He immediately became a starter at his new side, scoring a hat-trick against Independiente on 7 December.[13]

Veracruz

[edit]

On 28 December 2014, Furch moved abroad for the first time in his career and joined Liga MX side Veracruz.[14] He made his debut abroad the following 17 January, starting and scoring a brace in a 3–1 home win over Puebla.[15]

Furch scored ten goals during his first six months at Veracruz, which included another braces against Atlas and Pumas UNAM. In the 2015–16 season, he played a key role by scoring 12 goals to help the club avoid relegation.

Santos Laguna

[edit]

On 24 November 2016, Furch moved to fellow league team Santos Laguna, with Martín Bravo and Fredy Hinestroza moving in the opposite direction.[16] He made his debut for the club the following 7 January, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 away draw against Tigres UANL.

Furch scored his first goal for Santos on 5 February 2017, netting the opener in a 1–1 away draw against Guadalajara. He scored a career-best 18 league goals during the 2017–18 season, and repeated the feat in the following campaign.

On 13 June 2019, Furch renewed his contract with the Guerreros until 2022.[17]

Atlas

[edit]
Furch with Atlas in 2021

On 8 December 2020, Furch signed for Atlas of the same league.[18] After suffering a season long injury for the Clausura 2021 season, he became an undisputed starter in the 2021–22 season, scoring 16 goals.

On 14 July 2023, Furch left Atlas, ending an 8-year period in Mexico.[19]

Santos

[edit]

On 21 July 2023, Furch signed a two-year contract with Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Santos.[20] He made his debut for the club eight days later, replacing Lucas Lima late into a 1–0 away loss against Fluminense.

Furch scored his first goal for Peixe on 20 August 2023, netting a last-minute winner in a 2–1 home success over Grêmio.[21]

International career

[edit]

Born in Argentina, Furch expressed interest on representing the Mexico national team in October 2018, saying he would "like to wear" the nation's colours.[22]

Personal life

[edit]

Furch's great-grandparents fled Germany during the World War II and moved to Argentina in the 20th century.[23][24] In 2012, he was nicknamed Emperador (the Emperor) by the supporters of Olimpo due to his name being the same as Julius Caesar.
