SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose Earthquakes announced today that the club has transferred defender Francisco Calvo to Turkish Süper Lig side Konyaspor for an undisclosed fee.

Calvo, 29, joined the Earthquakes ahead of the 2022 season following five years in Major League Soccer with Minnesota United FC and Chicago Fire FC. He made 13 appearances for San Jose, scoring two goals and tallying one assist.
Calvo also helped the Costa Rica National Team earn qualification to the 2022 FIFA World Cup following their interconfederation playoff win over New Zealand on June 14.
