"The Los Angeles Blues are excited to announce they have secured the services of forward Matthew Fondy for the 2012 USL PRO season, pending league approval. The 22-year-old joins the Fullerton-based club following a successful rookie campaign in which he netted twice for a Pittsburgh Riverhounds side that had the second-lowest goal-scoring total of all twelve teams..."

Re: Blues Sign 2011 Impact Rookie Fondy Looks like another good young player you've signed. Only question is the title "Impact" when he played for the Riverhounds. Unless I missed something in the write up. But congrats on another good signing.
Re: Blues Sign 2011 Impact Rookie Fondy Thanks! While you're making a valid point, the reasoning was that for a rookie to come in and play in 21 of his team's 24 matches is quite an accomplishment. Two goals certainly isn't anywhere near the top of the scoring charts but considering Pittsburgh was such a low-scoring team last season and it was Fondy's first year in the league, one might argue that it was a fairly promising start to his professional career. He also had two assists in USL PRO play, by the way.
Re: Blues Sign 2011 Impact Rookie Fondy I think Bob might be referring to Impact as in the Montreal Impact. I thought that when I saw the thread title. If you want to rename the thread, to replace Impact with Star or something, let me know.
Re: Blues Sign 2011 Impact Rookie Fondy Oh, of course. I appreciate the clarification! That reading of it didn't even occur to me.
