BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Birmingham Legion FC announced on Friday the club had signed forward Sebastián “Bofo” Saucedo for the remainder of the 2025 USL Championship campaign. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.

“We are excited to add a player with Sebastian's quality and experience,” said Legion CEO and Chief Soccer Officer Jay Heaps. “We look forward to his impact on the field and in the locker room.”

Born in San Fernando Valley, Calif., Saucedo returns to the United States after having spent the last six years playing in Liga MX in Mexico. His most recent stop was with FC Juarez where he scored a pair of goals in 19 appearances. Other stops include Deportivo Toluca FC from 2022-23 and Pumas UNAM where he provided four goals and five assists across 61 total appearances between 2020 and 2022.

The 28-year-old burst onto the scene in 2014 when he signed a homegrown contract with Real Salt Lake. He was with the Major League Soccer club through 2019, scoring six goals and 12 assists in 90 appearances. During that time, he also had a brief stint in the USL Championship, making 13 appearances for Real Monarchs SLC.

Saucedo also garnered international recognition in the early part of his career having received call-ups to the United States U-18, U-20 and U-23 national teams as well as the Mexico U-20 squad.
