For­mer na­tion­al youth team de­fend­er Yohance Mar­shall was re­called by his US Ma­jor League Soc­cer club, LA Galaxy on Mon­day fol­low­ing a near­ly six-month-loan spell with the Austin Az­tex of the US Soc­cer League. On loan since ear­ly April, Mar­shall was able to gain some valu­able match ex­pe­ri­ence and helped lead the sec­ond year club to their first-ever post-sea­son berth.

Af­ter ap­pear­ing in just one Open Cup game in 2009, as well as a cou­ple of friend­lies, Mar­shall came in­to his sec­ond sea­son with LA look­ing to play an in­creased role in the club's de­fence, but with Gregg Berhal­ter and Omar Gon­za­lez each re­turn­ing, and Leonar­do hav­ing ar­rived from Sao Paulo on loan, the de­ci­sion was made to send the 24-year-old to Austin in or­der to gain some valu­able game ex­pe­ri­ence.

With Mar­shall's help, the Az­tex com­piled the sec­ond best record in the US Soc­cer League this sea­son, go­ing 14-4-7 for 49 points with five games still re­main­ing. While his three goals were good for the fourth most on the club, it was his ex­pe­ri­ence mar­shalling the back line that has played the biggest role in help­ing to turn the club around af­ter a 5-17-8 mark in 2009.
