Jose-Karl Pierre-Fanfan (born 26 July 1975) is a French professional footballer currently playing for Scottish Premier League club Rangers.
The strong central defender was born in Saint-Pol-sur-Mer and began his career at USL Dunkerque, where he played for four seasons before earning a move to RC Lens. In his first season at Lens he helped them to the French title and played a key role in the clubs run to the UEFA Cup semi-final in 2000.
He joined AS Monaco in 2001 and moved to Paris Saint Germain in 2004 where he played in the 04/05 UEFA Champions League campaign.
He chose to sign a three year contract with the Ibrox club, on a free transfer. He has currently scored one goal for Rangers against Livingston at the start of season 2005/06. Rangers won 3-0. Fan-Fan fell out of favour with the manager and hardly played a game after September of that season, and at this point(29/05/06) is rumoured to be looking for a new club.
Because of his Martiniquais background, Fanfan qualifies to play for their national team and represented them at the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament.
