FC Tucson announced on June 21, 2022 the signing of 23-year-old Fernando Garcia from USL League Two side Des Moines Menace.
Garcia joins after he made the ESPN Sports Center Top 10 with his flying ‘golazo’ in May. He created the most attention with his wondergoal in May in the team’s season opener when he lept in the air to connect on a volley off a cleared corner kick. The goal was the No. 3 highlight on the ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 that evening.
Garcia featured in four games this season for Des Moines, the defending USL League Two champions, and piled up three goals and two assists to garner the attention of quite a few USL League One and Championship clubs.
