DAVIS, Calif. -- Former UC Davis men's soccer standout Matt Sheldon has become the latest Aggie to sign on with a professional squad, inking a deal with SG Kinzenbach in the German Hessen Verbandsliga.

Sheldon signed on the dotted line during the league's winter transfer period on Feb. 2 and will compete with coach Andre Weinecker's side for the remainder of the season, which runs through June. SG Kinzenbach is unbeaten in its last five matches overall and is 6-10-1 in the league on the year for 19 points.

"Matt was an outstanding player for our program," Head Coach Dwyane Shaffer said. "He had the dream to become a professional and he worked extremely hard to become one. He will do well as a pro because he has tremendous pace and an excellent work ethic. It's awesome to add the name another UC Davis soccer player to the professional ranks."

A two-time All-Big West second-team selection, and a Big West All-Academic honoree as a junior, Sheldon played four seasons for the Aggies from 2011-14, finishing his career with 15 goals and seven assists for 37 points. As a senior, he shared the team lead with four goals and 10 points on a club-high 39 shots, netting scores against Loyola Marymount, San Diego, Cal Poly, and Sacramento State.

As a junior, he shared the team lead in 2013 with a career-high six goals and 13 points, including a trio of game-winning goals. Just under half (seven) of his 15 career goals finished as game-winners during his UC Davis career, as the Portland, Ore., native finished ranked second on the school's Division I list in career points (37), goals (15), and shots (124), while matching Quincy Amarikwa's mark for game-winners.

During his time in Davis, the Aggies won 33 matches overall and nearly 60 percent of the team's Big West contests during his four-year career, helping UC Davis to three Big West Conference Tournament berths, a pair of semifinal appearances, and a North Division title and tournament championship match appearance in 2012.
