Wilmington Hammerheads FC News Release
Wilmington, NC - Wilmington Hammerheads FC have announced that the club will host three professional open tryouts for the upcoming 2016 USL regular season. The tryout dates are January 30-31, 2016 and February 20-21, 2016 at Cape Fear Regional Soccer Park in Wilmington, North Carolina and February 6-7, 2016 at the Capelli Sport Center in Carlstadt, NJ.
These professional combines are great opportunities for potential players to showcase their abilities in front of new Head Coach Mark Briggs and other key decision makers for the Wilmington Hammerheads organization. Eligible college seniors, free agents and amateur players seeking a professional contract are welcome to register.
"We are excited for the combines this year," said Coach Briggs. "Our combines are unique because they offer a great platform for players to earn themselves a professional contract and we rely on them to add talent to our team."
"Each of the past three seasons we've seen players offered professional contracts directly from our combines and we look forward to seeing the prospects this year," said General Manager Jason Arnold. One of those talents signed last year was midfielder Stefan Defregger who played 15 matches during the 2015 campaign. The Hammerheads recently announced they would be picking up their team option on Defregger and bringing him back for the 2016 USL season.

All players are required to bring a form of valid identification (i.e. Driver's License, passport, etc.) and personal equipment to the tryout.
