The San Jose Earthquakes announced on Friday that it has sent midfielder Bobby Convey to Sporting Kansas City ahead of the MLS Re-Entry Draft process next week.
“Bobby Convey has been a difference-maker in this League for many years, with experience at the highest levels of soccer,” Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes said. “His competiveness and attacking qualities stand out and we feel that he can thrive within the culture created at Sporting Kansas City. We are very excited to welcome Bobby to our club.”
Convey, 28, broke into the league back in 2000 with D.C. United and went on to make 89 appearances for the club until 2004. He then signed with Reading F.C. for a fee that was at the time a record for the English club. Convey spent five years across the pond before returning to MLS in 2009 with San Jose.
“I am very excited to link up with my new club and teammates,” Convey said on Friday. “The fans in Kansas City are extremely supportive of the team and create a great atmosphere in the new stadium. The team proved last year they are a good team that can win a bunch of games and I hope I can add to that success.”
The Philadelphia-native also made 48 appearances for the U.S. national team startin in 2000, scoring one goal in the process.
