Thursday, August 16th, 2018 -- It's been a while since we dropped one of these ASA Exports and we have to admit that Niki Jackson's goal against LA on Tuesday inspired us to bring this series back.
If you're not too familiar with the ASA Exports series, it's a weekly feature in which we track all former Arizona Soccer Association players who are currently playing in professional leagues throughout the world.
On another note, there are MANY things the Arizona Soccer Association would love to provide coverage for and we currently have internships available for those wanting to work in the world of sports.
