Malta international Jean Paul Farrugia will pursue next season abroad as he signed with FC Chiasso of Switzerland.

The club will feature in the Challenge League which is the second tier of Swiss football, with the first match of the season to be played on Saturday as Chiasso take on one of the best teams in the league, Servette. 

Farrugia was part of Sliema Wanderers' squad last season and was fundamental in helping the side to reach the FA trophy final. 

Back in 2013, Chiasso were coached by World Cup winner Gianluca Zambrotta who had joined the side for a short spell as player-coach.
