Ngwenya to SK Austria

Joseph Ngwenya has signed with Austrian Bundesliga team SK Austria today, according to goal.com. Ngwenya who helped the Houston Dynamo win the MLS cup last year, signed a 1 year deal with an option for a further year.

Ngwenya was drafted by the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2004 only to be traded to the Columbus Crew in 2006 (Kyle Martino and Ned Grabavoy, how's that working out for the Galaxy?) Ngwenya then signed a deal with the Houston Dynamo in 2007, scoring 7 goals in 25 appearances.

Joseph Ngwenya we will miss those chubby cheeks.

LA Galaxy Signs a Race Horse!?!
