The centre-back, who can also play as a right-back, has been at Fulham since 2022, having previously played for Camberley Town’s youth teams in addition to representing Aldershot Schools.
Colchester describe Faux as a ‘a quick and aggressive centre-back’ who ‘relishes one-v-one defending and is also comfortable operating out wide thanks to his pace.’ Faux's player profile on the Fulham FC website describes him as ‘a tall, rangy centre-back who loves to defend and who also loves to have the ball at his feet, stepping out from defence to help get the team up the pitch.’
