“We are very happy to have Miggy return for next season,” said SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell. “We thought he had a very solid rookie season. A lot of his work goes unnoticed and he’s a guy that can help build from the back and also organize and defend in the central midfield area. We look forward to seeing improvement from him and hopefully he can sustain a good level of form throughout 2017.”

Prior to joining the Alamo City club, Salazar played the previous four years at Elon University. Salazar earned Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) first team honors after his senior season in 2015 when he helped lead the Phoenix to a CAA regular season title and third NCAA tournament appearance in four years.

The 22-year-old played under Powell for two years at Elon University from 2012-13 where the pair helped the Phoenix win back-to-back Southern Conference Tournament titles.

“I’m very happy and grateful to be back with San Antonio FC for the 2017 season,” said Salazar. I’m looking forward to building on last year and helping this city have a very successful team for the upcoming season.”
