GALAXY ARE BRINGING BACK SOME FAMILIAR FACES

The Galaxy have signed two more players for the 2019 season, reaching agreements with veteran midfielder Chris Pontius and versatile defender Dave Romney.
Terms of the Pontius deal were not available. The Yorba Linda native, 31, made $175,000 last season, his first with the Galaxy and his 10th in MLS. He played in 26 games, starting 15, and matching a career high with six assists. His contract expired after the season.
Romney, 25, from Irvine, set career bests for starts (26), minutes (2,354) and assists (3) while playing everywhere along the Galaxy’s back line. His new deal is for two seasons with a third-year option and will nearly double his salary from the $74,418 he made in 2018.
