TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing


Columbus Crew SC continue to round out their roster ahead of the 2021 MLS season, announcing Friday that theyā€™ve signed goalkeeper Eric Dick after selecting him in Stage Two of the 2020 Re-Entry Draft


Dick, 26, originally entered MLS in 2018 after being picked by Sporting Kansas City in that yearā€™s SuperDraft. He started one game during the 2019 season, which marks his sole MLS appearance to date.


ā€œWe are pleased to welcome Eric to Columbus,ā€ Crew SC president and general manager Tim Bezbatchenko said in a club release. ā€œAfter earning beneficial USL Championship experience over the last few years, we look forward to working with him to continue his development as a goalkeeper.ā€


A former Butler University goalkeeper, Dick spent last season on loan at Phoenix Rising in the USL Championship. Heā€™s also played in the second division with FC Tulsa and Sporting Kansas City II.


Dickā€™s signing gives Columbus four goalkeepers on their first-team roster after they won MLS Cup in 2020. Eloy Room is their starter, with the Curacao international joining during the 2019 campaign from PSV Eindhoven.
