Eric Kronberg (/ˈkrɒnbɜːrɡ/;[2][3] born June 7, 1983) is an American former professional soccer player who played as a goalkeeper.
Career[]
Kronberg was drafted in the fourth round (40th overall) of the 2006 MLS Superdraft by the Kansas City Wizards. Kronberg made his MLS debut in a 4–1 win against the San Jose Earthquakes on October 23, 2010.[4] He continued as a backup with the renamed Sporting Kansas City franchise through 2013. In 2014, following the retirement of Jimmy Nielsen, Kronberg was finally given the starting nod for Sporting Kansas City. However, a broken finger in July 2014 essentially ended Kronberg's season.[5]
Kansas City declined the 2015 contract option for Kronberg and in December 2014 he entered the 2014 MLS Re-Entry Draft. He was chosen by Montreal Impact with the first selection in the re-entry draft.[6] He was out-of-contract following the 2017 season.[1]
