Luis Emilio Solignac (born 16 February 1991) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for USL Championship side El Paso Locomotive.
Career[]
During the 2013 pre-season, he was signed on loan from Club Atlético Platense. Solignac made his Djurgårdens IF debut in Svenska Cupen on 3 March 2013 against Umeå FC.[1] He scored his only league goal for Djurgården when he equalized to 2–2 home against Malmö FF on 12 May 2013.[2]
Solignac signed for the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer in May 2015. He was traded to Chicago Fire on 3 August 2016 in exchange for allocation money.[3] He was immediately integrated into Chicago's starting lineup, playing his first full 90 minutes for the team just three days after his trade. He started in all but two of Chicago's remaining matches for the season.[4] He only failed to see minutes in Chicago's final game of the season, due to a red card suspension he had received in the prior match after a trip off the ball.[5]
In 2017, Solignac began the season with a career-high four goals and three assists through just the first 15 games, leading an MLSsoccer.com writer to credit him as a driving force behind Chicago's 8-game unbeaten streak.[6] Solignac would remain a regular starter for the rest of the season.[4]
Solignac started in the first two matches of Chicago's 2018 season, but suffered a quadriceps strain that forced him out of action for an estimated 6–8 weeks.[7] He made his return as a late substitute in a May 30 match against Philadelphia Union. He returned to his starting role for a few matches, but never to play a full 90 minutes, and he began to spend more matches on the bench than in previous years with Chicago. Solignac saw his first full 90 minutes of play time since the injury on August 4 in an away match against Real Salt Lake.[4]
Solignac was released by Chicago at the end of their 2018 season.[8]
