A central midfield staple for Sporting KC, the hard-working Espinoza started his pro career in Kansas City (2008-2012) before moving to join Wigan Athletic in England (2013-2014) following his participation with Honduras in the 2012 London Olympics.

Before leaving to England, he was part of the KC squad that won the US Open Cup in 2012 and he also earned an MLS All-Star nod that same season. In his first campaign back in MLS in 2015, Espinoza helped Sporting win another US Open Cup.

INTERNATIONAL: Espinoza has 50 appearances for Honduras and started five games across two different World Cups for the nation.

He was applauded off the field by the Newcastle crowd after receiving a second yellow card in the 90th minute of the 3-2 quarterfinal defeat to Brazil, during which he scored a goal and registered an assist.

COLLEGE: Espinoza started his college career at Yavapai College. He was first team All-Conference, Conference Player of the Year and National Player of the Year runner-up. He transferred to Ohio State, and was named first team All-Conference and led the Buckeyes to the NCAA College Cup final.
