CARSON, Calif. – Ashley Cole is hopeful that he’ll be able to continue to represent the LA Galaxy in 2018.

Amid the Galaxy’s struggles in 2017, Cole’s presence has been a silver lining as the reliable outside back has racked up 28 appearances, scoring a goal and adding an assist while seeing time at defense and in central midfield. The veteran defender’s performance has made Cole an overwhelming favorite to take home the team’s Defender of the Year award.

By the time the 2018 season rolls around, the legendary English international will be 37-years-old, but Cole is ready to return if the Galaxy will have him.
