I hope everyone is having a great holiday season!
Birmingham Legion gave fans a gift today, announcing four more returnees who had been in contract negotiations.
Dawson McCartney (pictured above) returns for a third season with Legion. He's a tremendously versatile player (LB/LW/MF) that spent some of 2025 battling through injuries.
Samuel Shashoua (FW/MF) was on loan with Legion last year from Minnesota United, coming in about halfway through the season.
Amir Daley (RB) was on loan to Legion for the final third of the season in 2025, and made a huge impact in a short time. He's a solid defender that also gets very involved in the attack.
Sebastian Saucedo (FW) signed with Legion mid-season after being out of the game. He's an explosive player with MLS and Liga MX experience.
Additionally, Legion and GK Fernando Delgado mutually agreed to part ways. This move is a little surprising, as he's a young prospect at keeper that was hoped to be destined for a transfer fee. With that news, expect Legion to be looking for a GK1.
The roster is starting to take shape, and the big returnee still to be landed is Ronaldo Damus. Expect some kind of news related to him after January 1st.
