SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio FC today announced that Costa Rican forward Cesar Elizondo will return to the club for the 2017 USL season.

“We are pleased to have Cesar return to San Antonio FC,” said SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell. “He came in midseason last year and gave us a lot of new energy, and we are looking for him to transfer that to a complete season together next year. We fully expect a quality player like Cesar to do so, and we look forward to starting preseason in February.”

After joining the club midseason in July, Elizondo appeared in nine USL matches, starting six and tallying a total of 574 minutes played. Overall, Elizondo scored two goals and recorded one assist during his time on the pitch. He also tallied 10 total shots and two shots on target. After appearing in seven consecutive matches after signing with the Alamo City club, Elizondo suffered an injury that would keep him out until the final two matches of the season where he helped SAFC continue its late-season playoff push.
