FC Tulsa announced today the signing of Rémi Cabral to its roster ahead of the 2026 USL Championship season, pending league and federation approval.
“I’m delighted to welcome Rémi Cabral to Tulsa,” said FC Tulsa Sporting Director and General Manager Caleb Sewell. “He is a dynamic striker who can put the ball in the back of the net, is willing to run in beyond back lines, press with intensity, and work tirelessly for the team, all traits that align with our DNA. What stood out most to us was Rémi’s clear desire to join Tulsa despite having other options, and that commitment is incredibly important to us.”
Cabral, 26, joins the Black and Gold after spending the last two seasons with Western Conference peers Phoenix Rising FC, where he made 48 appearances and recorded 14 goals and four assists across all competitions. The Paris, France-born goalscorer made a permanent move to Rising in 2025 after spending 2024 on loan from Major League Soccer’s Colorado Rapids.
The Frenchman was a standout performer for Colorado Rapids’ MLS NEXT Pro side, Rapids 2, in 2023, tallying 19 goals across 22 appearances. Cabral finished the campaign in a three-way tie in the MLSNP Golden Boot race, notching a second-half hat-trick in Colorado’s regular season finale to claim his share of the accolade.
A product of the Paris Saint-Germain Youth Academy, Cabral spent his early career breaking into French sides FC Metz and Valenciennes FC, making appearances for both clubs’ secondary teams from 2017 to 2021. Cabral made the move stateside in 2021 after signing a contract with then-USL Championship side LA Galaxy II, making 58 appearances and scoring eight goals over a two-season span.
