HARRISBURG, Pa. – The Harrisburg City Islanders announced on Thursday the signing of former LA Galaxy II center back Lee Nishanian. The signing is pending league and federation approval.

Nishanian joins the City Islanders after spending the past two seasons with Los Dos. The 25-year-old made 50 regular-season appearances for the Galaxy II over the past three seasons, and helped LA win the 2015 USL Western Conference Championship and earn a place in that season’s USL Cup Final. This past season he finished second on the Galaxy II with 2,159 minutes of action as the side reached the USL Cup Playoffs for a third consecutive season.

"I'm excited to join the Harrisburg City Islanders,” said Nishanian. “I know the team's looking to get back to the playoffs in 2017 and I'm looking to contribute in any way that I can. Signing with the team was an easy decision. I feel really comfortable here and I am excited to get started and see if we can do something special here."
