Jonathan Rafael Faña Frías (born 11 April 1987) is a Dominican footballer who plays as a forward for Moca FC and the Dominican Republic national team.
Faña is the second Dominican Republic international top goalscorer with 20 goals in official matches behind Harvey Reyes.
Faña began his career with Moca FC in the Dominican Republic, leading the Liga Mayor with 16 goals during the 2004/05 season.
He moved to TT Pro League power W Connection in 2006. Faña quickly established himself at the club and by 2007 was a regular starter, scoring 9 league goals during his first season as a regular starter and playing primarily as a left-sided attacking midfielder. During the 2008 TT Pro League campaign Faña led W Connection with 10 goals.
The 2009 season was Faña's most successful as he impressed at both the local league as well as in CONCACAF competitions. He led W Connection to the 2009 CFU Club Championship helping defeat Puerto Rico Islanders 2–1 in the final on May 17, 2009 and claiming a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League 2009-10. Faña scored both Connection goals in the final and ended as the competitions top scorer with six goals. During the CONCACAF Champions League Faña appeared in seven matches scoring five goals, which included a hat trick on September 24, 2009 in a 3–0 road victory over Guatemalan side CSD Comunicaciones. As a result of his play in the Champions League Faña began to receive interest from Central and North American clubs, including Guatemalan club Xelajú MC.
