Sources: Chivas set to sign ex-Seattle defender Alfaro

Tony Alfaro's time with the Seattle Sounders came to an end this week after the MLS team's decision not to renew his contract, but the Mexican-born central defender won't be unemployed for long.

Alfaro is set to sign a contract with Liga MX side Chivas Guadalajara, joining the club on a free transfer, two sources with knowledge of the deal confirmed to Goal on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old center back spent the past three seasons with the Sounders, serving mainly as a reserve. He made just four league appearances for the Sounders in 2018 after a 2017 season that saw him play in 15 league games.
