New York City FC signs former Sporting KC midfielder Mikey Lopez

The busy season stayed busy for New York City today, and the newest Blues signing will have a chance to add depth at a position of serious need.

NYCFC acquired Miguel "Mikey" Lopez off the waiver wire today. He was released by Sporting Kansas City following two seasons on loan in the third-tier USL Pro.

Originally the fourteenth-overall pick in the 2013 SuperDraft by Sporting, he is a former Generation adidas player, as well as a veteran of the U.S. Under-20 National Team.

"I’m really excited for this opportunity. I’m thankful that Patrick [Vieira] and Claudio [Reyna] showed confidence in me and offered me this opportunity.
