After 3 seasons in Sacramento (which has one of the best atmospheres in American soccer), he signed a deal with San Antonio FC this offseason. Hayden was gracious enough to spend a quarantined evening with Rooster and the Devil talking about his soccer journey.

Alistair Johnston was drafted #11 overall in the MLS superdraft by Nashville SC. He was drafted to play Right Back after excelling in the position during his Senior Year at Wake Forest. Alistair is gracious enough to talk us through his incredible soccer journey. From youth club soccer in Aurora, Canada, to playing at St. John's in New York City, to his transfer and position change at Wake Forest, and finally to his current place in Nashville. Great conversation with a young player that has a bright future. Thanks Alistair!
