"His pace stretches back lines, creates space for others, and brings a direct, dynamic threat that can change games. Just as importantly, his prior experience in the USL Championship gives him a clear advantage and he understands the league, the physical demands, and the style of play, which will allow him to integrate quickly and make an immediate impact for our group."
