A.J. DeLaGarza announces retirement

After fourteen years, former New England Revolution right back A.J. DeLaGarza has closed the chapter on his professional soccer career.

On Thursday, the 35-year-old inked a one-day deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy, the club where his career began. After being selected with the nineteenth overall pick in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, DeLaGarza went on to appear in 250 matches across all competitions for the Galaxy and helped the Galaxy secure three MLS Cups along with two Supporters’ Shields.

DeLaGarza also accumulated multiple individual honors in LA as he’s a two-time Galaxy Defender of the Year and earned MLS Humanitarian of the Year in 2014 for his work with Luca Knows Heart.
