Franco Daniel Jara (born 15 July 1988) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Mexican club Pachuca.

Club career

Born in Villa María, Córdoba, Jara made his professional debuts with Arsenal de Sarandí, first appearing in the top division in a 0–1 home loss against Argentinos Juniors on 23 May 2008. He scored his first goal for the club on 10 April of the following year, in a 1–1 draw at Club Atlético Colón.[1]

On 30 January 2010, Jara signed a five-year deal with Portuguese champions Benfica for a transfer fee of €5.5 million, effective for the beginning of the 2010–11 season.[2] He scored in his second official game, a 1–2 home loss against Académica de Coimbra on 15 August,[3] and finished his debut campaign with 47 overall appearances (11 goals, 4 assists).

In late August 2011 Jara was loaned to newly promoted La Liga club Granada CF, moving to Andalusia alongside several other Benfica teammates.[4] On 21 July of the following year, in the same predicament, he joined San Lorenzo de Almagro,[5] and the same happened in 2013–14, this time with Estudiantes de La Plata.[6]

On 24 January 2015, Jara signed for Greek champions Olympiacos[7][8] in a €1.5 million transfer fee, until summer 2017. On 1 February 2015, he made his debut with the club in a 2–0 away win against Veria and scored his first goal two months later in a 3–1 away win against Panthrakikos.

On 23 May 2015, Jara's contribution to Olympiakos for winning the Greek Cup for a record 27th time by beating Skoda Xanthi 3–1 in the final in Athens' Olympic Stadium was vital. It was a defensive mistake in first-half stoppage time gave Olympiakos the lead when Jara intercepted a backward pass inside the area, opposite to the flow of the game.[9][10]

On 9 September 2015, Jara joined Mexican club Pachuca on a free transfer.[11]

International career

On 19 January 2010, Jara was called up to the Argentine national team for a friendly match with Costa Rica on the 27th.[12] The game finished 3–2, and he scored the match-winning goal.[13]

Jara made his second international appearance on 10 February 2010, in a 2–1 win against Jamaica.

Personal life

On 10 September 2014, he suffered a car accident, crashing into a tree, but did not suffer major injuries.[14][15]
