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.
