Monterey Bay Re-Signs Forward Jesús Chuy Enríquez
January 18, 2024 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Monterey Bay FC News Release
SEASIDE, California - Monterey Bay Football Club (Monterey Bay F.C.) announced today that the club has re-signed Jesús Chuy Enríquez ahead of the 2024 USL Championship campaign, pending league and federation approval. The 26-year-old forward - who initially joined the Union in mid-March last year - officially remains with Monterey Bay and gives the Club an experienced and creative option in the attack for 2024.
"I'm really excited to be back for 2024 and I'm so grateful for another opportunity to represent this club," said Enríquez. "The way MBFC and the fans treated my wife and daughter throughout the season was something I had never experienced before in USL and that is really important to me. We came up a bit short last season, so we have some unfinished business to handle. We'll take it game by game and strive for more than just making the playoffs."
From Redwood City, California, Enríquez joined the Club Tijuana youth academy in 2016. Two years later, he signed his first professional contract with Championship side Rio Grande Valley FC and recorded 10 goals and nine assists in 61 appearances over two seasons with the Toros. Following brief stints with San Antonio FC and Reno 1868, Chuy joined Oakland Roots SC in 2021 and stayed for two seasons before joining Monterey Bay last year. While with the Crisp and Kelp in 2023, Enríquez played 564 minutes across 14 appearances (six starts) in all competitions during an ultimately injury-riddled campaign.
"We're happy to have Chuy back with us this season," said Monterey Bay F.C. Sporting Director and Head Coach Frank Yallop. "We felt last year - he came in a bit late to begin with - was a frustrating one for him with the injuries. He didn't get a chance to show what he can do, so he has some unfinished business with us this year. Chuy has an attacking flair that can really help us, and he has good character in the locker room as well. We're excited to have him back and look forward to him showing what he can do on the field."
The current roster heading into the 2024 season as of January 18 is listed alphabetically as follows:
Goalkeepers (2): Carlos Herrera, Antony Siaha
Defenders (7): Morey Doner, Max Glasser, Kai Greene, Carlos Guzmán, Alex Lara, Walmer Martínez, Grant Robinson
Midfielders (5): Rafa Baca, Simon Dawkins, Mobi Fehr, Xavi Gnaulati, Adrian Rebollar
Forwards (5): Luther Archimède, Chase Boone, Alex Dixon, Chuy Enríquez, Jesse Maldonado
