San Antonio FC signed goalkeeper Jonathan Viscosi for the 2019 USL Championship season pending league and federation clearance, the club announced today. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

“Jonathan was brought to our attention this offseason,” said SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell.  “He is a goalkeeper that can also use both feet, which can help us in the way we play. He is a very good shot-stopper and he comes to us with good experience overseas in both England and Finland.”

Viscosi joins SAFC from Finland where he has spent the past two seasons in the first and second divisions. Following a successful year with Turun Palloseura (TPS) in 2017, Viscosi was named the Ykkonen’s Goalkeeper of the Year while leading TPS to promotion to the Veikkausliiga. Overall that season, the 27-year-old made 27 appearances, compiling 2,430 minutes and 15 overall clean sheets. In his two seasons in Finland, Viscosi appeared in 70 matches in all competitions, recording 25 total shutouts.

“I’ve had some good conversations with Darren [Powell] and Juan [Lamadrid] about the vision of the club and the direction in which its heading,” said Viscosi. “I’m really excited to come in and be a part of that vision. I am looking forward to arriving and seeing everything first-hand, and most of all meeting the boys and getting to work on the training ground in preparation for the season ahead.”

Prior to his time in Finland, Viscosi spent time in England from 2014-16, including with two clubs in the National League North – Southport FC and Chester FC – before joining Oskarshamns AIK of the Swedish second division. Originally from Canada, the goalkeeper has also featured for the Albany Highlanders, the Ottawa Fury and Des Moines Menace over the course of his career.
