Chivas USA secures defender Nwiloh

Chivas USA have signed defender Michael Nwiloh.

The 23-year old centre-back has penned a MLS contract with the Goats after being selected by the Californian club in the fourth round of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft.

Nwiloh starred for Georgia State University before Chivas took him with pick 59 in January's draft and he went on to make six pre-season appearances before signing a pro deal.

"Michael is a young player who has a lot of potential," said Chivas head coach Wilmer Cabrera.

"He is a very tall, athletic and physical center back with good technique. He joins our club eager to work hard and learn in a professional environment from experienced players like Carlos Bocanegra."
