Where are they now: Alvin Jones
Yeah. That Alvin Jones. The ones who’s wunderstrike effectively knocked the USMNT out of the World Cup. The Loons had a shot to sign the right back in 2017 and turned him away.
What did he do?
Jones was on trial with the Loons before the start of their first MLS season. He did not make the roster after his two-week long stint as the Loons decided deploy Jermaine Taylor and Kevin Venegas on the right side of defense. Interestingly enough, Jones cited fellow Trinidadian Kevin Molino as a close personal friend that he was excited to play with. It is unclear for the little footage of preseason games available whether or not they actually got on the field together.
How did he leave?
