“We are excited to be able to add Ján to our group,” said General Manager Mike Jacobs. “He’s someone our staff has been a fan of since watching him play for Minnesota United when he first entered MLS as well as for his country, and believe he fits into what we look for in a player in that role on and off the field. His range of passing and playmaking out of midfield make him a welcome addition.”

Prior to joining MLS, Greguš began his professional career in Slovakia in 2009 at his hometown club, FC Nitra. He then moved to Baník Ostrava where he made 100 appearances over seven years.
