Pacific FC signs Canadian international winger Ben Fisk to CPL roster

Pacific FC has added Canadian international winger Ben Fisk to its Canadian Premier League roster.

The Victoria team also signed forward Jose Hernandez and midfielder Victor Blasco.

“We are delighted to have secured three dynamic attacking players,” said club CEO Rob Friend, a former Canadian international in his own right. “Ben Fisk brings a wealth of experience and he’s coming into the prime of his career. Jose Hernandez is one of the top young strikers in Canada, and Victor Blasco has the potential to be one of the most exciting midfielders in the league.”

Fisk, 26, was most recently with Ireland’s Derry City FC. He has also played for FC Edmonton, Deportivo La Coruna and Coruxo FC in Spain, the Charleston Battery, and the Vancouver Whitecaps under-23 side.

Hernandez, 18, comes from the Whitecaps FC residency program in 2016. The Edmonton native is a Canadian under-17 international.
