Published on January 17, 2017 under Major League Soccer (MLS) News Release
NEW YORK- The final two rounds of the MLS SuperDraft were held today, with Major League Soccer's 22 clubs drafting a total of 37 players. The selected players will now have the opportunity impress their clubs during preseason training camps in an effort to secure a spot on a team's final roster.
MLS clubs are not restricted on the number of players attending preseason training camps, but each team must be roster and salary budget compliant by March 1.
The first two rounds of the MLS SuperDraft presented by adidas took place in Los Angeles last week as all 22 MLS clubs selected from a pool of over 200 college standouts, Generation adidas players and youth internationals. With the first overall pick of the SuperDraft, MLS expansion club Minnesota United FC selected Generation adidas signee Abu Danladi from UCLA. Fellow expansion team Atlanta United followed suit with the second pick, drafting Generation adidas and Syracuse University defender Miles Robinson.
