Sources close to the program indicate Shelton has a high probability of success in the coming season.

On the pitch, Shelton is entering his fourth season with Sporting Kansas City. Other than looking really good in Sporting Blue, he is a proven winner, boasting a 64.1%-win percentage when playing. He also scored in Sportingā€™s 3-1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps in Round One of last yearā€™s MLS Cup Playoffs.

For those of you who do not know, The Bachelorette is a reality TV dating show that airs on ABC in which a contestant will choose a husband out of a number of eligible bachelors. While the full list of contestants has yet to be released, itā€™s implied that the fellow participants on Sheltonā€™s season can just throw in the towel as they simply stand no chance against him.

The Sporting KC strikerā€™s season is set to air on the 35th of Nevuary. Do not miss Khiry Sheltonā€™s televised shot at love, and if you want Shelton content sooner, tune in to 38 The Spot, Saturday at 7 p.m. CT when Sporting Kansas City takes on the Whitecaps at BC Place in Vancouver.
