George Fochive is a 25-year-old, American-born midfielder (though his hometown is listed as Paris, France) who was drafted by the Portland Timbers in the third round of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft. He played for their USL affiliate Sacramento Republic in 2014, and then played in 11 games (with eight starts) for the Timbers in 2015. In those 11 games, he had an assist and a shot on goal (nine shots total). The Timbers won the MLS Cup in 2015.

On February 1, 2016, Fochive was sold to the Danish side Viborg FF.
