Sporting Kansas City is checking the items off its offseason wish list early this winter. And it’s plucking from a familiar location.
Sporting KC has agreed to a two-year contract with central defender Botond Barath.
Barath, 26, has spent his entire professional career with Budapest Honved FC, his hometown club in his native Hungary. He’s made 213 appearances with the club since 2009, including 18 this season.
Barath will depart Honved and officially join Sporting KC after the new year, occupying an international spot on the roster. There will be no transfer fee tied to his move to Kansas City, sources told The Star.
