Miami, FL. - The Miami Football Club announced today the signing of defender Preston Kilwien for the 2026 USL Championship season, pending league and federation approval.

"I am very happy and excited to join Miami FC for this upcoming season! After talking with the staff and hearing their goals for this year and their long-term vision, it immediately felt like the perfect fit for me and my family," said Kilwien. "Miami has already been home for us, and being able to play here is something truly special. I can't wait to meet everyone and fight for a championship for this beautiful city. Vamos Miami!"
