A native San Diegan with a wealth of experience playing in Major League Soccer is the first player that USL Championship expansion side San Diego Loyal SC has signed.
The club announced Wednesday that it had agreed to a contract with fullback Sal Zizzo for the 2020 season. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
Zizzo, 32, had actually announced his retirement from professional soccer in May, but told the San Diego Union Tribune that it was “worth returning to the game” when Loyal SC head coach Landon Donovan called him.
