Waylon Francis first became a recognizable name to Columbus Crew SC fans in the 2014 season.
The Costa Rican left back was signed the offseason prior and became a regular starter for the Black & Gold that year in then-head coach Gregg Berhalter’s system.
Francis spent four total seasons with the Crew before he was shipped out to the Seattle Sounders in December of 2017. In total, he made 83 appearances for the Black & Gold, including 75 starts, while recording 18 assists.
The Costa Rican National Team player’s time in Seattle was not so fruitful.
