San Diego, CA. - SD Loyal announced today it has signed Kyle Vassell from English League One side Cheltenham Town FC for the upcoming USL Championship season, pending league and federation approval.

"We were fortunate to have Kyle train with us last summer and it was immediately clear that he is the type of player that could take us to the next level and help us win a championship," said Landon Donovan, EVP of Soccer Operations and Manager.

Vassell comes to San Diego from Cheltenham Town FC of England's League One. The 28-year-old played in 16 games with his former club last season while scoring two goals and brings over a decade of experience competing in the English football league system.
