Central Catholic junior Jose Gallegos has been added to San Antonio FC's roster, the team announced Thursday. The deal is pending United Soccer League and U.S. Soccer Federation approval.

Gallegos is allowed to play with SAFC and not lose college eligibility because he's a USL Academy player.

"We are excited to add Jose to our roster from our SAFC Elite Training Program," SAFC coach Darren Powell. "He has performed well in a couple of reserve games for us, so we are pleased to add him to the roster. We are thrilled with our Academy Director Nick Evans and his staff for their continued ability to develop local talent."

The SAFC Elite Training Program, which is under the SAFC Pro Academy's direction, is designed as a collaborative between SAFC and San Antonio area youth soccer clubs. The ETP provides additional technical programming for boys, and serves as an identification and development program for future SAFC Pro Academy players at multiple age groups.

Gallegos, a two -time Express-News Super Team selection, paced Central Catholic this season to its third straight TAPPS Division I state championship. The Buttons at one point were No. 1 in Top Drawer Fab 50 national rankings.
