Earthquakes midfielder Shea Salinas is a 10-year MLS veteran with 259 career appearances to his credit. He has scored 13 goals and tallied 44 assists during MLS play.
But it hasn’t always come easy for the now 31-year-old, who bounced around early in his career.
After being drafted by San Jose in 2008, Salinas was taken in consecutive expansion drafts ahead of the 2010 (Philadelphia) and 2011 (Vancouver) seasons before making his way back to the Quakes for their Supporters’ Shield run in 2012.
Primarily used as an attacking threat during his career, Salinas has tallied at least five assists in five of his last six seasons, save for 2017 when he spent half the year as a converted fullback.
