Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Former Brazil and AC Milan defender Cafu has agreed to join minor-league Garforth Town next year.
"He's likely to be coming in April and just playing a few games for us," Garforth manager Simon Clifford was quoted as saying.
"It's an absolute honour to have someone like him lining up in our shirt and I think he'll also add something on the field."
Clifford, who runs a Brazilian soccer school that counts Manchester City and England defender Micah Richards as one of its former pupils, has persuaded Cafu to play for his Unibond Northern League club before he retires.
The 38-year-old was released by Milan last season after five years with the Serie A club and will join Socrates and Careca on the list of Brazilian internationals to have played for west Yorkshire team Garforth.
Cafu, who also spent six years at AS Roma before joining Milan, has enjoyed a glittering career including 142 caps, two World Cup triumphs in 1994 and 2002, a Champions League title in 2007 and two Serie A crowns in 2001 and 2004.
