SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio FC has added defender and Texas native Moises Hernandez on loan from FC Dallas (MLS) for the 2019 USL Championship season pending league and federation approval, the club announced today. Per club policy, terms of the loan were not disclosed.

Hernandez appeared in six USL Championship matches while on loan with SAFC in 2018, compiling 537 total minutes played. The defender recorded 15 clearances, 10 tackles, nine interceptions, three blocks and an 80.5 percent passing accuracy in his six matches with San Antonio.

"We want to thank FC Dallas for allowing Moises to join us on loan," said SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell. "We are pleased that he is back to join the team and we are hoping to see him progress on his performances for us last season. He is ready to go after a successful preseason with FC Dallas and is available for selection straight away."

Hernandez first joined FC Dallas in 2010 along with Victor Ulloa and Ruben Luna as the club's second, third and fourth ever Homegrown players. Hernandez spent time on loan with Comunicaciones and Deportivo Saprissa (Costa Rica) before making his FC Dallas first-team debut in 2014. Overall with the MLS side, the defender has appeared in 31 matches, tallying 2,084 minutes while recording two assists and 10 shots. Hernandez also appeared in two MLS playoff matches in 2014, totaling 175 minutes over two starts.

The 26-year-old has represented the United States at the U-20 level before making 15 appearances with the Guatemalan national team in World Cup Qualifiers, CONCACAF Gold Cup matches and international friendlies. He made his debut for Guatemala in 2015. The Dallas native also had a loan spell at former NASL club Rayo OKC in 2016.

"I'm very happy and excited to be back in San Antonio," said Hernandez. "This club treated me very well while I was here for a short period last season and my family and I are thrilled to be here again."

With the addition of Hernandez, the active SAFC roster currently stands at 22. Hernandez will wear No. 2 for the club.

Following their two-match road trip to Colorado Springs and Austin, San Antonio FC will host the Las Vegas Lights on April 6 at Toyota Field as part of 'Spurs Night'.
