The San Francisco Deltas announced today the signing of Canadian International Maxim Tissot on Tuesday from DC United.

The left winger was a regular for the Montreal Impact in MLS from 2013-2016. This preseason he won a contract with DC United. He featured once this year for the MLS side and played four games on loan for the USL’s Richmond Kickers. The move happened after Tissot and DC United agreed to mutually terminate his contract Monday.

“I’m extremely happy to join the Deltas. I can’t wait to get things started, and I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead,” said Tissot. “After speaking with Marc [Dos Santos] and some players that I’ve played with before, I know that I’m joining an ambitious club.”

Tissot looks to be a replacement this season for Saalih Muhammad, the open tryout invitee was injured just before the Deltas first game this season. He can provide backup for Pablo Dyego who has started every game on the left for San Francisco or allow Dyego to move up as striking partner up top in a 4-4-2 formation, as he did last weekend with Devon Sandoval.

With his signing, the Deltas now have four Canadians on the roster (Tissot, Nana Attakora, Kyle Bekker, and Karl Ouimette).

“Maxim is a player that will bring us another option on the left side. Max has a lot of qualities and a great left foot. He will be another great addition to help us reach our goals,” said head coach Marc Dos Santos.

The Deltas remain on the road next week taking on FC Edmonton Sunday, May 14th at 2 pm PDT. The game will be available on ESPN3.
