As FC Tucson looks to build off of a historic 2021 season in which the club advanced to the USL League One semifinals, the club announced the re-signing of midfielder Daniel Bedoya.
Bedoya will return to Tucson for the 2022 season.
“It’s exciting for me to be back here,” Bedoya said. “We have a young, talented team and we’re excited to get going.”
He ended the 2021 season with three goals, three assists and played a total of 1,571 minutes over 29 games. He also created 35 chances throughout the season, the second highest of anyone in the team that season.
The Colombian started playing in his youth with the New York Red Bulls Academy in 2011. Bedoya also played collegiate soccer at St. John’s University for one year, scoring three goals and recording five assists. He signed his first professional contract with the New York Red Bulls II in 2015. He helped the team advance to the 2015 USL Playoffs by scoring one goal and assisting another in extra time to a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.
“He’s a consummate professional and has great experience,” said FC Tucson Head Coach Jon Pearlman. “He came off the bench for us and had some really huge moments for us last year and was a key reason why we got to the playoffs.”
Bedoya is the 21st player on FC Tucson’s 2022 roster. He re-joins five teammates from the 2021 playoff team, including midfielder João Delgado.
The deal is pending league and federation approval
