The Colorado Rapids announced today the club has placed defender Axel Sjöberg on waivers and removed him from the active roster.
Sjöberg, 28, spent the past five seasons with the Rapids after being selected by the team in the first round (No. 14) of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. The Stockholm, Sweden, native made 92 total appearances for the club, netting three goals across and adding an assist in that span. Sjöberg’s best season with the Rapids came in 2016 when he helped the club reach the Western Conference Championship and was nominated for MLS Best Defender of the Year.
