San Diego Loyal News Release
San Diego, CA - San Diego Loyal Soccer Club (SD Loyal) announced today the signing of Jordan Chavez, Austin Guerrero and Ben Spencer, pending league and federation approval.

SD Loyal is excited to add two San Diego natives, specifically from Chula Vista, to the roster- Defender Jordan Chavez and Goalkeeper Austin Guerrero.

Forward Ben Spencer joins SD Loyal after playing for Phoenix Rising FC and internationally for the United States U18.
In addition to these great additions, it's with a heavy heart the club says goodbye to Assistant Coach Carrie Taylor. Statement from the club below:
"Carrie Taylor has resigned from SD Loyal SC. We value Carrie's dedication, drive and desire to win. We recognize and appreciate her work to help build Team 1, as she was an integral piece to establishing this club. She's choosing to refocus her energies on continuing to grow the women's game for players and female coaches with an emphasis on helping underserved communities nationally and internationally gain greater access to sport. We wish her the very best."
Aside from duties as SD Loyal's Senior Advisor, Shannon MacMillan has been promoted to the front office leadership team as the Primary Analyst for all broadcasted matches.
