Sockers Sign Santos For Rest Of Season

The two-time defending Professional Arena Soccer League champion San Diego Sockers announced Tuesday they have signed midfielder Jason Santos for the remainder of the 2011-12 season.

Jason had been playing with brother Joe on San Diego's reserve team in the Premier Arena Soccer League and will join the Sockers in Monterrey, Mexico to compete in the inaugural FIFRA Championships, an exhibition tournament featuring the host Monterrey Flash of Liga Mexicana de Futbol Rapido and teams from Canada and Ecuador.

Santos was born in raised in Cardiff by the Sea, CA and graduated from La Costa Canyon High School, where he was captain of their soccer team in his senior season and was named that season to the Avocado League's first team.

He then spent two seasons at University of California-Davis, where, in 2010, he was named their most inspirational player.

The Sockers, who recently won their third straight PASL Western Division regular season championship and are undefeated at 13-0, return to league play February 11 when they host the Arizona Storm, formerly the Phoenix Monsoon, at Del Mar Arena, where San Diego has never lost since joining the PASL three seasons ago.
