Just three days after returning to the NYCFC team sheet following recovery from toe surgery, Ronald Matarrita is officially back.
Back on Major League Soccer’s annual honor roll of up-and-comers, that is.
The talented left fullback and Costa Rica international checked in on MLS’s “24 Under 24” rankings for the second straight year, landing in the sixteenth spot.
Though the injury bug has kept him out of months’ worth of NYCFC action this year, the 23 year old Tico still managed to finish ahead of such notable operators as Diego Fagundez, Kekuta Manneh, Luciano Acosta, and Erik Palmer-Brown.
