Richmond Kickers News Release
RICHMOND, VA - (Friday, July 24, 2015) - The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce the addition of defender Uriah Bentick for the remainder of the 2015 season. Bentick will be available for selection when the Kickers take on New York Red Bulls II at Red Bull Arena on Saturday, July 25.
Bentick was drafted by the Philadelphia Union in the 2013 MLS Supplemental Draft and then signed with the Wilmington Hammerheads in April where he made 15 appearances with the USL side. Following a stint at the Carolina RailHawks (NASL) in 2014, he returned to Trinidad to play for Central FC.
The 6'2" defender featured three times with the Trinidad and Tobago U20 National Team before making 63 appearances and notching eight goals and nine assists over his four year career at Liberty University. He totaled three All-Big South team selections, including two first-team selections and a second team nod.
Following a gap in the regular season schedule last weekend that allowed the Kickers to host West Bromwich Albion of the English Premier League in an international friendly, the Kickers return to USL action when they travel to New York Red Bulls II this Saturday. The Kickers return to City Stadium one week later to host Craft Beer Fest and the Harrisburg City Islanders on Saturday, August 1.
