The Philadelphia Union added to their midfield depth Monday by signing Venezuelan Jose Andres Martinez from Zulia FC.
The club did pay a transfer fee to the Venezuelan club for the 25-year-old, but it would not disclose the amount paid.
“We’re excited to welcome ‘el Brujo’ to the Philadelphia Union. He is an up-and-coming player whose tenacity and athleticism will bolster our midfield going forward,” Union sporting director Ernst Tanner said. “We look forward to welcoming him to the team and an exciting 2020 season.”
Martinez made 65 appearances over the last two seasons for Zulia FC.
