Khiry Shelton unlikely to be back with Sporting KC in 2019
The players who most often comprised Sporting Kansas City’s starting lineup this year are in line to return in 2019.
Except one.
Forward Khiry Shelton is set to depart the team in search of fulfilling his desire to play overseas, Sporting KC coach Peter Vermes told The Star.
Shelton, who led the club’s strikers with 15 starts, has not disclosed his landing spot, but this much his clear: He is unlikely to be in Kansas City in 2019.
“He’s had a dream of always playing in Europe,” Vermes said. “From everything I understand, and I’ll let him speak more on it, he has an opportunity, and that’s what he’s going to purse in the short term.”
