FC Cincinnati selects D.C. United’s Darren Mattocks in 2018 MLS Expansion Draft
FC Cincinnati’s first selection in the 2018 MLS Expansion draft is D.C. United striker Darren Mattocks. The 28-year-old Jamaican had a career season for United this year, but the arrival of Wayne Rooney relegated him to a back-up role that he was not satisfied with. A recent report from the Washington Post confirmed that he was going to part ways with United anyway, but today’s move appears to send him to the 2019 expansion side. Per MLS rules, United will receive $50,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) as compensation.
