“We’re excited to welcome Willy to SDFC and back into the Right to Dream family,” said sporting director Tyler Heaps.
“He is a fullback who can impact the game through his pace and technical qualities that we believe translate very well to MLS.
“His previous experience at RTD Ghana and FC Nordsjaelland will allow him to settle quickly into the playing style. We’re looking forward to getting him in market and introducing him to the rest of the group.”
