BARNSLEY centre-back Donovan Pines has been added to the ownership group of DC Power – an American women’s team.
The 27-year-old signed for the Reds last January from DC United – the men’s team equivalent of DC Power.
He is currently injured and has not played since a 2-1 loss at home to Huddersfield Town last month.
But it was announced at the weekend that he had been added to the ownership group of the women’s team – alongside his former teammate Steven Birnbaum.
Pines said: “It’s amazing to see women’s game continuing to grow both domestically and abroad.
“I was excited when I heard about the USL Super League coming to Washington, D.C, and I knew that I wanted to be a part of the process as someone who calls the DMV home.
“I’m so happy to join the ownership group and provide my support in creating new opportunities and pathways for aspiring female athletes in the country.
“I want to thank Jordan Stuart, Jason Levien, and the rest of the ownership group for onboarding me and I’m just happy that I can play a part in this.”
