Sporting Kansas City II has signed former U.S. youth international defender Danny Barbir, the club announced today. Barbir will join the Sporting II roster pending league and federation approval.
Barbir, 21, most recently suited up for German Verbandsliga side Sandhausen II while on loan from Romanian outfit Astra Giurgiu. He made 12 appearances for the club in the latter stages of the 2018-19 season, helping the side to a second-place finish in the Verbandsliga.
The Allentown, Pennsylvania native joined Astra Giurgiu in Romania in early 2018, but did not appear for the side. Barbir has prior experience in the USL Championship, representing Vancouver Whitecaps 2 in 2017, making three appearances after joining the club late in the campaign.
