Another U.S. national team player has officially headed south of the border to ply their trade.
One day removed from Omar Gonzalez officially departing the LA Galaxy, Real Salt Lake midfielder Luis Gil decided to move to Liga MX side Queretaro on a free transfer, which was reported by Goal USA early on Wednesday.
The club confirmed the addition of Gil on Wednesday afternoon.
Gil’s contract expired at the end of the 2015 season, and the 22-year-old midfielder decided to end his stint with RSL at six years after joining the team at the age of 16. He scored 11 goals and provided 9 assists in 134 appearances in MLS.
Most recently, Gil was a member of the U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team during October’s Olympic qualifying.
Queretaro, which missed the Apertura playoffs in 2015, will kick off the 2016 Clausura on Jan. 8 against Atlas.
What do you think of Gil’s decision? Think he will succeed in Liga MX?
