MUNICH (AP) --- Bayern Munich has signed 18-year-old American attacking
midfielder Bajung Darboe from LAFC.
Darboe has signed a long-term contract and will join Bayern's reserve team, the
German club said Wednesday.
"A big dream has come true for me. It's nice to see where my path has taken
me," Darboe said in a statement. "It was always a big wish of mine to get to
pull on the shirt of this great club one day. The fact it's happened now fills
me with a lot of pride. I'm still battling jet lag but otherwise I feel good
and ready to get started."
Darboe, who was born in Gambia, has played twice for the United States under-17
team. At club level, he has played for the reserve teams of LAFC and the
Philadelphia Union.
Bayern and LAFC have a wide-ranging partnership under the Red&Gold Football
brand with a focus on developing young players.
