PAPILLION, Neb. - Union Omaha announced today the loan signing of Max Schneider pending league and federation approval. Schneider has made seven appearances for Indy Eleven in the USL Championship after signing from St. Louis City SC of Major League Soccer.

This season with Indy Eleven, he has a pair of assists in eight USL Championship appearances in addition to his substitute appearances in all four of their US. Open Cup matches en route to the semifinals.

Schneider is the third Marshall product to join Union Omaha of late, linking up with Adam Aoumaich and former teammate Pedro Dolabella. At 6'3", he will add more height to the midfield alongside Dolabella as well.

"Max is a player we've tracked for some time, so we are delighted to add him to the group," said Head Coach Dom Casciato. "His quality on the ball and ability to break up things defensively will make us stronger as we approach the second half of our season."

Said Schneider, "I'm very grateful for this great opportunity to join this amazing organization, and I hope to be able to contribute to the success of the team."
