Louisville City FC has forged a loan agreement with Sporting KC putting recent goalkeeper signing Parker Siegfried on a Major League Soccer roster to start the season, the clubs announced Thursday.
Siegfried loan to Sporting KC on a semi-guaranteed contract assists a side dealing with multiple injuries between the posts approaching Saturday's opener against the New York Red Bulls.
"This is an incredible opportunity for Parker," said LouCity's head coach and sporting director, John Hackworth. "He has been in great form for us and we know he will make the most of this experience the next few weeks before returning to our squad."
The Ohio State University product Siegfried was taken 74th overall in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft by New York City FC. While Siegfried never signed with New York, Sporting KC traded a 2023 pick to acquire his college protected rights and execute this loan.
Before successfully trialing and earning a contract with LouCity, Siegfried began his pro career for USL League One's South Georgia Tormenta FC and finished the 2020 season at Detroit City FC, where he helped the team to the National Independent Soccer Association fall title.
LouCity will continue to have two goalkeepers - Chris Hubbard and Simon Lefebvre - available for selection as its preseason concludes. The boys in purple host the USL Championship's Pittsburgh Riverhounds at 3 p.m. Saturday inside Lynn Family Stadium in a game open to the public. Visit LouCity.com or call (502) LOU-CITY for tickets.
