Sporting KC brings back defender Igor Julião on loan

The initial few weeks of Sporting Kansas City’s offseason saw the departures of nearly a dozen players.

In typical sequence, the route is starting to reverse course.

Sporting Kansas City made the first major addition of its offseason Friday, securing defender Igor Julião on loan from Brazilian club Fluminense FC. The team welcomes back a player who spent 2014 with Sporting KC.

“Igor is a player we are very familiar with and eager to welcome back,” Sporting KC coach Peter Vermes said in a statement. “He showed a lot of promise with us in 2014, and we look forward to integrating him back to our team when he joins us next month for preseason.
