Galaxy forward Gabriel Pec didn’t have the smoothest start this season with the Galaxy.
He didn’t score in his first four games, but quickly found his footing and Monday, he was announced as the MLS Newcomer of the Year. He scored his first goal, in a 1-0 win against Seattle March 30.
Pec, who joined the Galaxy from Vasco da Gama as a Young Designated Player, finished with 16 goals and added 14 assists this season. He became the youngest player in club history to record 30 goal contributions in a single season.
