DETROIT – Detroit City FC announced on Tuesday it had added Dominic Gasso to its squad as a USL Academy signing for the remainder of the 2022 USL Championship season. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.
An 18-year-old native of Grand Blanc, Mich., Gasso has previously competed this year for Le Rouge’s Academy team at the USL Academy Cup in March. He had previously competed for Vardar Academy and the Flint City Bucks Academy before joining the Detroit City FC U19 Boys Academy team.
