Sporting Kansas City announced on Thursday that they have signed 28-year-old Spanish midfielder Cristian Lobato.
"We're extremely excited to be able to add Cristian to the roster," Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes said in the press releae. "He is a versatile player who can play multiple positions in the midfield and across the front three. We weren't sure if we would be able to add Cristian in this coming window, but our player personnel department did a fantastic job to solidify this acquisition.”
Lobato spent some of his early years in the famous Barcelona youth system before being released in his early teen years.
