St. Charles, MO - The St. Louis Ambush have acquired veteran defender Jonatan Santos from the Milwaukee Wave in exchange for a player to be named later. The Ambush and Santos came to terms on an agreement early this morning and the deal, which both teams had been working on for several days, was finally completed.

Santos, who hails from Aracaju, Brazil, brings eleven years of professional arena soccer experience to the Ambush. He has seen action with the Wave, San Diego Sockers and Cedar Rapids Rampage.

Santos has appeared in 156 regular season games prior to this season, posting 37 goals, 42 assists and blocking 187 shots.
