HARTFORD, Conn. - Hartford Athletic announced today that Danny Barrera has re-signed for the 2020 season. Barrera joins four other Hartford Athletic players returning for the 2020 season. Alex Davey, Alex Dixon, Nicky Downs, and Harry Swartz rejoined the Club last week.

"I'm very excited to be a part of this Club in 2020," said Barrera, one of four players tied for the team lead in assists in 2019. "When I joined Hartford, I felt right at home. We have incredible fans who provide one of the best homefield advantages across the league. We finished last season strong and we have a good foundation to build on. I can't wait to get started."

He finished the season first on the club in Key Passes and Chances Created (44 each), tied for first in assists (4), second in long pass accuracy (69.5%) and tied for fifth in passing accuracy (84%). He also pitched in three goals, all coming at Dillon Stadium in the final three months of the season. Barrera will once again be expected to be the distributor in the Athletic offensive attack in 2020.
