A second-tier soccer player is suing because he’s been kicked down to an even lesser league.

Canadian Mozzi Gyorio, 26, was playing in a minor league in England when the North American Soccer League’s Minnesota United recruited him, he says.

Promised big minutes, Gyorio jumped at the chance. But after signing in January 2014, he claims he mostly sat on the bench.

Five months later, Gyorio refused to report when the team tried moving him to the National Premier Soccer League, which he calls “an amateur league.”

He says in a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit that the team should pay him what he would have earned after his pact was terminated.
