CARY, NC (August 5th, 2014) - The Carolina RailHawks announced the signing of former Elon University and Triangle Futbol Club (TFC) stand-out, Gabe Latigue, for the remaining of the 2014 Season. A member of the RailHawks U-23's team that captured the 2011 USASA Men's U-23 Region III and National Championships, Latigue returns to the Triangle after spending most of the 2013 season on loan to the Rochester Rhinos (USL Pro) from Major League Soccer's New England Revolution.

"We are thrilled to add another player that learned the game in the Triangle," said RailHawks President Curt Johnson. "He is truly a product of soccer in North Carolina. We expect great things from Gabe during the 2014 Fall Season."

On March 2013, he was loaned to USL Pro's Rochester Rhinos, where he made 16 appearances and recorded 2 assists. During that time he also made two appearances with the Revolution in U.S. Open cup action, starting two matches and recording one assist.

Latigue joins former Elon University Alumni, Austen King on a RailHawks roster that includes 8 other RailHawks who played youth and/or college soccer in North Carolina: Goalkeepers Akira Fitzgerald (Wake Forest University) and Scott Goodwin (Raleigh, NC and UNC), defenders Jordan Graye (UNC) and Justin Willis (Raleigh, NC and NC State), midfielders Enzo Martinez (UNC) and Nazmi Albadawi (Raleigh, NC and NC State) as well as forwards Zack Schilawski (Cary NC and Wake Forest) and Aaron King (NC State).
