TORONTO — Toronto FC announced Wednesday it has signed midfielder Efrain Burgos Jr.
The 23-year-old was originally selected by Toronto in the third round, 44th overall, of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft.
Burgos played his college soccer with San Jose State University before transferring to California Polytechnic State University in 2008. He also played in the USL Premier Development League during his college career before rejoining Toronto FC during pre-season training last month.
"Burgos is a player that has many qualities we like and he can play our style of football," Toronto FC coach Aron Winter said in a statement. "He did well during pre-season and we felt he can add depth and quality to our midfield."
Burgos has been called up to El Salvador’s national team on three occasions but he has yet to earn a cap for his country. He holds dual citizenship for El Salvador and the United States.
