“I’m delighted and excited to be here,” Sacramento said in a release. “When the opportunity came up to come to Galway for this amazing project, I couldn’t say no.”

Thank you @ValourFootball for the opportunity to represent my hometown in 2019 and @RedRiverRising2 for bringing the noise every home game! Also thank you to @HawkesBayUnited for giving me an unforgettable experience in NZ. All the best to both clubs moving forward !
