Major League Soccer side, San Jose Earthquakes have announced the signing of Ghana defender, Jonathan Mensah.
Mensah joins the side from Columbus Crew. He has signed a one-year deal for the side.
In 2020, he emerged as one of the players that played every minute and anchored the league’s second-best defense which conceded fewer than a goal per game.
He finished third in voting for the MLS Defender of the Year award and was named an MLS Best XI selection.
Mensah then played every minute of all four postseason matches en route to the team’s first MLS Cup championship since 2008.
Mensah joined Columbus in January 2017 after a short stint at Russian club, Anzhi Makhachkala.
He quickly became a fan-favourite at Lower.com Field, where he served as the Crew’s captain for the past two seasons.
In his four years at Columbus, Mensah made 159 appearances. He also played a key role in the team’s 2020 MLS Cup triumph.
