Former Canadian underage international Dylan Sacramento joins Galway United

First Division promotion hunters Galway United have confirmed the signing of former Canadian underage international Dylan Sacramento, subject to international clearance.

The 24-year-old joins former Atletico Madrid youth Alberto Cabanyes in joining the Tribesmen during the off-season.

The former Toronto FC youngster joins United after a spell playing with Hawke’s Bay United in the New Zealand Premiership.

“I’m delighted and excited to be here. When the opportunity came up to come to Galway for this amazing project, I couldn’t say no,” he told Galway’s media team.

“It’s a club that should be in the top division and that’s what we’re striving for.

“When you look at the squad that Alan has put together, I think we have a real shot of winning the league and that was huge for me to hear that the club also has that ambition.”

Galway boss Alan Murphy’s made no secret of his delight in signing the midfielder; “I’m really excited and absolutely delighted to be able to confirm that Dylan Sacramento has agreed to join the club for 2020.

“Dylan’s signing is the culmination of months of scouting work and player analysis from myself and the management team and it’s great to have him on board now.”

He added; “Dylan has all the characteristics of a modern day midfield player and is equally good with both feet.

“Assists and goals have been a feature of his career to date and hopefully we will see that flourish further with Galway United.



“His work rate, honesty of effort and defensive abilities were of equal importance to us though and that side of his game is extremely impressive given his attacking abilities.”
