SACRAMENTO, Calif. (March 16, 2016) – Sacramento Republic FC have agreed to a contract with midfielder Chase Minter for the 2016 USL season. Minter was the 21st overall pick in the 2016 MLSSuperDraft by the Columbus Crew after playing collegiately at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
“We are delighted to bring in Chase, a player we found at Cal Poly while scouting the college system,” said Republic FC Head Coach and Technical Director Paul Buckle. “He is a player that can play two or three positions, but mainly as a left winger.
