COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC announced today it had signed Henry Weston to a USL Academy contract for the 2025 USL Championship season, pending league and federation approval.

As a USL Academy signing, Weston can train and compete for the Switchbacks in the USL Championship and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup without forgoing his NCAA eligibility.

Following that, he spent five months with FC Cincinnati's academy before moving to the academy team of Deportivo Numancia de Soria (S.A.D).
"We are very excited to see what Henry does with Switchbacks || and the first team this season," said Sporting Director Stephen Hogan. " He has done very well in first team training to this point, and he thoroughly deserves the academy contract."
