Montreal Impact sign 21-year-old defender Victor Cabrera on loan from Argentine giants River Plate

Victor Cabrera Montreal Impact

The Montreal Impact added another piece to their back line on Thursday, signing 21-year-old Argentine center back Victor Cabrera on loan from River Plate for the 2015 season.


A graduate of the River Plate academy, Cabrera didn't see much first-team action in his two professional seasons with the Buenos Aires giants. He was a regular for the reserves, however, starting 13 games and playing over 1,000 minutes to help River to a first-place finish in the fall 2014 season.



Cabrera’s signing marks the second addition to Montreal’s defense this week; the Impact officially signed former Chicago center back and Stage 2 Re-Entry Draft selectionBakary Soumare to a contract on Tuesday.
