Hertzog excelled in his first year with 1868 FC, matching forward Dane Kelly's record for regular-season goals (18), and setting a new franchise record in goals tallied in a single year (19). Hertzog, 29, is already second all-time in goals with Reno, trailing Brian Brown's record (28) by just nine goals. Hertzog's 2019 highlights also include USL All-League Second Team honors and USL Player of the Month honors for July. He was named Reno 1868 FC's Forward of the Year and Player of the Year.

Gleadle was a critical piece in helping Reno earn a third straight playoff berth. Gleadle tallied five goals and four assists in 2019 and was named 1868 FC's Young Player of the Year. Gleadle earned USL Team of the Week honors twice in 2019 (Weeks 15 and 18).

Hernandez will embark on his second season with 1868 FC in 2020.
