New Mexico United News Release


New Mexico United is proud to announce the signing of former UNM Lobo soccer player and the 2017 USL Rookie of the Year, Chris Wehan, under the guidance of Head Coach Troy Lesesne.

"I am extremely excited to join New Mexico United. The state of New Mexico means so much to me after spending four and a half years at UNM," said Wehan. "I am anxious to join this group of players, as I know they have been working extremely hard. I feel honored to be joining this historic group of players and staff members that are paving history in New Mexico."

Wehan joins a roster of 14 recently signed New Mexico United players, including three New Mexicans, Devon Sandoval, Justin Schmidt, and Josh Suggs.

"Chris is a cerebral player who can see passes and dangerous opportunities that other players can't. His ability to create in the final third is special, said Lesesne. "He is someone that truly understands what soccer means to this state and in his third professional season I believe he is primed to have his best year yet for our club."
