Chad Johnson is playing football once again. Just not the football you'd expect.
Boca Raton FC of the United Premier Soccer League announced Tuesday that it had signed the former NFL wide receiver to a contract.
"Chad is a tremendous athlete," the club's head coach, Jim Rooney, said in a statement. "He has proven himself in the gridiron and will now prove himself in the soccer pitch. Chad has had some great training and preseason matches with us and we are excited to continue this journey with him."
The 41-year-old Johnson has already started five times for the club during his trial and has made quite the impression, posting a goal and two assists.
