Greenville Triumph SC News Release
Greenville, SC - The Greenville Triumph SC has officially signed winger Jesus Ibarra and midfielder Allen Gavilanes, pending league and federation approval. Ibarra and Gavilanes bring Greenville's new signings to six, joining Don Smart, Marios Lomis, Jacob Goodall and Will Mejia.
Ibarra, a San Diego native, is a familiar name to the South Carolina soccer scene, having spent time with amateur side Greenville FC in 2018 before playing the 2019 season with third-tier Swedish club, Bodens BK. Ibarra returned to the Palmetto State in 2020 as a trialist for USL Championship club Charleston Battery, eventually signing with the team after an impressive preseason showing.
Gavilanes will also join John Harkes's title-winning side ahead of the 2021 season, adding depth and grit to the Greenville midfield. The North Plainfield, New Jersey native is a recent graduate of Marist, where he was a three-time All-MAAC First-Team selection. Most recently added to the All-MAAC 40th Anniversary Team, Gavilanes scored 20 goals in three seasons with 22 assists and was voted the MAAC Offensive Rookie of the Year and the MAAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2017.
The Triumph's 2021 season is set to begin this Saturday against the Richmond Kickers at 6:30PM ET, and will air locally on The CW-62, nationally on ESPN+ and internationally on YouTube.
