Another Expansion Draft come and gone. Yet again a Columbus Crew SC player was selected.
Los Angeles Football Club today added five players to the team’s new roster through the 2017 Expansion Draft. The Black & Gold nearly made it through without losing any players, but with the fourth pick, LAFC selected left back Jukka Raitala.
Crew SC head coach Gregg Berhalter signed Raitala in December of 2016 as a Discovery Signing. In his lone season in Columbus, the Finnish fullback made 28 appearances (20 starts), recording two assists.
