DACA recipient Miguel Aguilar signs with Galaxy II

Midfielder Miguel Aguilar, who failed to make the Galaxy roster during a preseason trial this winter, signed with the MLS club’s USL affiliate Friday.

Aguilar, taken by D.C. United in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft, played in 25 MLS games over two seasons before the Galaxy acquired his rights in December. But a month later, the team signed Romain Alessandrini, Joao Pedro and Jermaine Jones, crowding the midfield and leaving little room for Aguilar on the first-team roster.

Aguilar, 23, was brought to this country from Mexico by his mother when he was 11.
