Official : FC Dallas Pick Tesho Akindele

Major League Soccer side FC Dallas have landed Canadian - Nigerian striker Tesho Akindele from the Colorado School of Mines.

He was selected with the number six pick in the 2014 SuperDraft.

Akindele is delighted with his move to FC Dallas and is hoping to kick start his career at the Toyota Stadium Frisco, Texas.

“I had an interview with Dallas and they made it seem like they liked me, but I had no idea I would get picked this early.

“I was definitely thinking somebody would pick me up in the second round or maybe at the end of the first round…

“They kind of told me they tried to keep it a little bit secret that they might try to get me early, but I’m glad they did that and I’m just happy now,”Tesho Akindele told the official website of the Hoops.

The 21 - year - old offensive all-rounder bagged an impressive 76 goals in 4 seasons spent at Colorado School of Mines.
