LouCity's 2024 Roster Shapes up with First 13 Returning Players
December 4, 2023 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Louisville City FC News Release
End-of-season processes are underway for Eastern Conference finalist Louisville City FC with 13 returning players so far under contract for next year's 10th anniversary campaign, the club announced Monday.
Deals for each of Amadou Dia, Dylan Mares, Carlos Moguel Jr., Oliver Semmle, Sean Totsch and Elijah Wynder continue into 2024. Danny Faundez, Jorge Gonzalez, Niall McCabe and Ray Serrano all signed new contracts following the 2023 season that are pending league and federation approval. LouCity also picked up options on Owen Damm, Brian Ownby and Sebastian Sanchez.
The club wishes well to the careers of two departing players. Enoch Mushagalusa has been released to sign elsewhere, while City and Maarten Pouwels mutually terminated their agreement.
LouCity remains in negotiations to sign more returners as well as a host of new incoming players. More announcements are expected in the coming days.
"We are working tirelessly to put together a roster in 2024 that our club and community can be proud of," said coach Danny Cruz. "Despite the ups and the downs of this past season, we put ourselves in a position to compete for a trophy before falling short. We have a staff and group of players that are hungry to compete for a USL Championship title. I am confident that by combining some new pieces with the returning players, we will put ourselves in the best position possible to do so.
"I also want to thank the players departing Louisville City for their commitment both on and off the field. I look forward to following them throughout their careers."
Cruz's squad will be looking to build on last season's ninth-straight run to the USL Championship Eastern Conference Final. LouCity remains the only club to win back-to-back league titles, which it accomplished in 2017 and 2018.
