OTTAWA – One day after leaving Sporting Kansas City, Canadian international Marcel de Jong has signed with Ottawa Fury FC.
The NASL team also signed Brazilian forward Pablo Dyego on a season-long loan from Fluminense.
“These are two crucial additions to our squad,” head coach/GM Paul Dalglish said in a statement Wednesday. “Marcel brings experience and versatility to our squad while Pablo provides us with more pace and another weapon in our attack.”
The left-sided de Jong can play at fullback or as a midfielder. He has won 42 caps for Canada, whose captain Julian de Guzman also plays for Ottawa.
He joined Sporting KC in 2015 after 10 pro seasons in the Netherlands and Germany. De Jong. 29, had one goal and one assist in 15 games for the club in all competitions.
Dyego, 21, is a product of Fluminense’s academy. A winger, he made his pro debut in 2013 with the reserve team. He has had loan spells with Sweden’s Djurgardens IF and Poland’s Legia Warsaw.
