Mike Magee looks ready to leave his hometown for the place where he enjoyed the most successful stint of his career.
Magee is set to make a return to the LA Galaxy, according to a report from ChicagoNow.com. The 31-year-old free agent forward was reportedly drawing interest from Sporting Kansas City, the Vancouver Whitecaps, and Chicago Fire, but has chosen to reunite with Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena in Los Angeles.
A two-time MLS Cup winner with the Galaxy in 2011 and 2012, Magee spent parts of five seasons in Los Angeles before being traded to the Fire in a deal that sent Robbie Rogers to the Galaxy back in 2013. Magee went on to win MLS MVP honors that season, but the rest of his stint in Chicago was far less enjoyable.
Hindered by injuries, Magee played a combined 29 times in 2014 and 2015, and finished last season with three starts, 12 appearances, and no goals.
If Magee does wind up with the Galaxy this offseason, he might not be the only former Fire player to do so. Veteran midfielder/defender Jeff Larentowicz is reportedly going to sign with the Galaxy as well.
What do you think of the Magee reportedly rejoining the Galaxy? See him making an impact for the club in 2016? Starting to wonder what the Chicago Fire have in mind for 2016?
