Kevin Ellis is coming back to Kansas City to continue his soccer career.
But he will be donning a different jersey upon his return.
Ellis has agreed to a three-year contract with the Kansas City Comets, a source told The Star. The deal is expected to be announced Friday.
Ellis, 27, was the second homegrown signing in Sporting Kansas City history. An Oak Park graduate, he spent seven years with the Major League Soccer club before they parted ways late in the 2017 season.
