Sporting Kansas City II has added goalkeeper coach Mitch Hildebrandt to their playing roster, the club announced Wednesday afternoon.
The 31-year-old will come out of retirement and become the club’s first ever player-coach after keeper Gavin Krenecki’s season ended prematurely due to an undisclosed injury.
