Sporting Kc Sign Aurélien Collin and More

On literally the last day possible Sporting Kc have signed French defender Auerelien Collin. The terms were undisclosed as the transfers in mls almost always are, if mls hopes to step up and really try to become an internationally recognized league they need to start "undisclosing" the terms of the contract. But that's a different story.

Anyway, Collin most recently played for Vitoria Fc in the Portuguese Liga but has been training with Sporting Kc since March. He is a central defender but can also play right back. He is 6'2 and from what I've read and seen he seems to be a very commanding, physical presence that Sporting KC definitely needs. It will be interesting to see him play but I wouldn't expect him to travel to Columbus this weekend as the team is already there and he is not. But he could feature against New England along with Ryan Smith.

We are currently about 5 hours away from the April transfer deadline, and I would not be surprised if SKC confirms a signing of at least one more player before that deadline.
