DANTE WASHINGTON SIGNS WITH MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER
Columbus, Ohio – Columbus Crew Interim General Manager Mark McCullers and Crew Head Coach Greg Andrulis announced today that Dante Washington has signed a multi-year contract with Major League Soccer and will rejoin The Crew, the team who last held his rights. The Crew had a roster spot available after Stephen Herdsman was placed on season-ending injury status. Washington will be joining Columbus for his third stint.
Washington led the A-League in scoring this past season with 40 points on 17 goals and six assists. His 17 goals were tied for the league lead and he was one of three finalists for A-League MVP as well as being named first-team All A-League for the second consecutive season. Washington finished second in the A-League in scoring in 2003 with 37 points (18 goals, 1 assist). In two years in the A-League he tallied 35 goals and seven assists (77 points) in 53 games.
"Dante has had two very good years with the Mariners and he still has a lot to give to the game," said Mariners' head coach Shawn McDonald. "We wish him the best."
In his three plus years with Columbus (1996, 2000-02), Washington tallied 28 goals and 14 assists for 70 points. He also had four goals and an assist in the playoffs and a goal in the Open Cup. His all-time MLS totals, which include four seasons in Dallas (1996-1999), are 52 goals and 29 assists (133 points) in 160 games played (111 starts). He also totaled five goals and one assist in the playoffs.
“I have had two great years in Virginia Beach,” said Washington. “I have had the privilege of playing with some great teammates, working with some great people and meeting some great fans. I wish the team good luck in 2005 and I will miss them.”
Washington will join The Crew in Columbus next Tuesday, October 12 for the regular season finale on October 16 against Colorado.
