Hartford Athletic News Release
Hartford, CT - Hartford's Kyle Edwards and recent USL Jägermeister Cup champion set a USL Championship single season record for goals off the bench with his 64th minute goal against Oakland Roots on Tuesday. This marked Edwards' eighth goal as a substitute and cemented him as the USL Championship's most prolific supersub.
Edwards first showed his clutch scoring ability with a late-game goal to draw Louisville City FC 1-1 back in May. He also netted a crucial one versus FC Tulsa in August, again digging Hartford out of a deficit and bringing the score to 1-1. Most recently, the 28-year-old added the winning goal in Hartford's 3-1 triumph over Oakland Roots last Tuesday.
Whether starting or coming on as a substitute, the St. Vincent and the Grenadines native has shown that he can produce goals, scoring a total of 12 in regular season play, besting Mamadou Dieng's club record of 11 goals in one season and putting him in a tie for fifth place in the league.
Further proving his attacking prowess, Edwards sits just one goal behind Dieng's All-Time Club Record of 23 goals across all competitions in the Green & Blue jersey. He has just three games left in the regular season to top the mark set by Dieng earlier this year.
With only one home match left of the regular season, don't miss your chance to see the Green & Blue back in action. Tickets for the October 11th match are available now at hartfordathletic.com/tickets.
