Another Earthquakes player from the past is gone.
Central midfielder Fatai Alashe has been traded to expansion FC Cincinnati for $1350,000 in allocation money that can be used next year, the Quakes announced Monday.
Alashe, 24, has been loaned to Cincinnati, which won’t join Major League Soccer until 2019, for the rest of the season. That means the former No. 4 overall draft pick will play in the second-division United Soccer League for the remainder of the year.
Alashe made 85 appearances and had five goals and three assists in 3 ½ years in San Jose.
