Chivas USA's Lillingston Loaned To Club Tijuana

Chivas USA forward Eduardo Lillingston will be joining Mexican second division side Club Tijuana on loan until the summer, the team announced this afternoon. He will be eligible to rejoin Chivas upon the opening of the mid-season transfer window on July 15th.

“This move allows us some flexibility with our roster, and will give Eduardo a good opportunity to play games during the offseason and before rejoining our team,” said Chivas USA vice president of soccer operations Stephen Hamilton. “We hope Eduardo does well in his time with Tijuana, and we look forward to his return in July ready to help the team toward MLS Cup.”

Lillingston, 32, signed with the club in March of last season and ended the season as the team’s leading scorer with eight goals and two assists.
