INDIANAPOLIS - Indy Eleven continued its trend of transferring talent to the ranks of Major League Soccer with today's acquisition of forward Cal Jennings by Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC). Per club policy, terms of the transfer deal will not be disclosed.

"Being involved in the transfer market has been a priority this offseason. The fact that so many of our players are earning opportunities with MLS clubs is a huge positive for the organization," said Indy Eleven Head Coach Martin Rennie. "Cal is a tremendous talent, and we wish him all the best moving forward."
