LA Galaxy II made history on Wednesday.
Los Dos announced the signing of Diedie Traore, the first Galaxy II player to be signed through the club's Open Tryout process. The 19-year-old native of Paris joins the club after a successful stint with the Galaxy U-19 team which advanced to the USSDA championship match.
An attack-minded outside back, Traore first caught the eye of Galaxy scouts during a stellar showing at Los Dos’ open tryouts at StubHub Center in January. Despite traveling nearly 6,000 miles to participate in the trials, he shined.
“There were a lot of players, so it was a very hard experience,” he said earlier this year.
