Club career

On 12 July 2014 Fragapane moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Spanish Segunda División B side Elche CF Ilicitano on loan, with a buyout clause.[6] On 6 December he made his debut with the main squad, replacing Coro in a 0–2 La Liga home loss against Atlético Madrid.[7]

On 1 July 2021, Fragapane was named as the player who allegedly directed a racial slur towards Portland Timbers player Diego Chará during a game on 26 June 2021.[9] MLS conducted an internal investigation and could not confirm or refute the allegation took place.[10]
