CHATTANOOGA, Tn. - ‚¬â€¹ ‚¬â€¹The Chattanooga Red Wolves have exercised the 2022 option on midfielder, Rey Ortíz, for the upcoming season. Transaction pending league and federation approval.
An integral part of the midfield, Ortíz made 17 appearances for the club in 2021 amassing 869 minutes of play time throughout the season. Ortíz was responsible for 164 successful passes, 19 key passes, two assists and one goal.
"The goal for 2022 is to be in the championship and win it," said Ortíz looking forward to the new year.
"First year here was great, broke an amazing record and was great to host at home, also it was amazing to see the amount of supporters come together to cheer us on," said Ortíz on his first year with the club. "Let's do it again next year but bigger and louder."
"We're very happy to have Rey Ortíz back. Rey Ortíz started to find his groove towards the end of the season, we're hoping that continues through 2022," said Red Wolves Head Coach, Jimmy Oleda. "The young man has a lot of great upsides, a young man that is very different from many in USL League One. Technical, quick, has a great change of rhythm that we're looking for him to exploit this year. We're looking for him to continue to build off of 2021 and continue to contribute and keep us moving in a positive direction towards the championship."
"Rey is someone we have been focusing on for quite some time," said Red Wolves GM & President, Sean McDaniel. "And even though he joined us a little late in 2021 he came on very strong for us as we made our playoff run. Having Rey as a part of the squad the entire 2022 season is going to be important for us."
Ortíz is the fourth confirmed member for the Red Wolves 2022 squad alongside Rafa Mentzingen, top-scorer, Juan Galindrez, and captain, José Carrera-García. More player announcements to follow throughout the week.
