Sporting Kansas City reached a one-year contract agreement with goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra on Tuesday, nearly three weeks after it plucked him from the MLS Re-Entry Draft.
It’s the second straight season in which Sporting KC has utilized the draft to supplement its goalkeeper depth chart.
Dykstra, 31, has been in MLS for seven years, most recently with D.C. United, which declined his contract option earlier this offseason. The seven-year tenure has included only 31 league matches, in which he totaled an 11-11-8 record with seven shutouts. In Kansas City, Dykstra will likely serve as the backup to starter Tim Melia.
