San Antonio FC News Release


SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio FC goalkeeper Jordan Farr and defender Mitchell Taintor have both been named USL Championship All-League First Team selections. The annual honors come for the first time in either of their careers, as both players completed their first full seasons with SAFC.

After spending the playoffs with SAFC last season on emergency loan, Farr signed in San Antonio in the offseason and was twice selected as the league Player of the Month, the only player in the league to accomplish the feat twice.

On the field, Farr tied a league record for single-season shutouts with 15, not including a shutout of Charleston Battery in which Farr was subbed off late for Matt Cardone - Cardone's final appearance with SAFC before retiring after the match. Farr finished the season with a 75.8 save percentage and a 0.78 goals-against average.

Taintor spent parts of the last two season in the Alamo City on loan, before signing in the offseason to join the squad. In his first full season, the centerback led the SAFC defense to equal a league-record for single-season team shutouts with 17, earning himself a spot on the league Team of the Week six different times during the season. Defensively, Taintor led the team in interceptions (72) and blocks (24) while finishing third in clearances with 106.

Offensively, Taintor posted a career-best five goals and an assist to emerge as a dangerous set piece threat.

The duo will be in action for SAFC on Sunday in the USL Championship Western Conference Final against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. Tickets are still available at SanAntonioFC.com or the SAFC app, with kickoff from Toyota Field set for 7:30 p.m. CT on Nov. 6. The match will also be broadcast on ESPN+.
