Player Announcement

Alamo City Brings Back Blanco and Swaps Victors



- San Antonio

The Alamo City Soccer Club has announced today that they have signed Sebastian Blanco for the 2018 season.  The highly sought after Argentine saw the Battle trade up in the draft when he announced he was coming stateside last season.  While he took some adjusting and found the style at POR different than what he was used to, Blanco did provide the dynamic ability that Alamo City was hoping to catch with his signing.  With a year in the league under his belt, the Battle are going all in on the #10.

Also suiting up for the Battle will be Victor ... Rodriguez.  In what some may consider a surprise, Alamo City shipped off their leading scorer (Victor Vazquez) to Gateway United with fellow Spaniard Rodriguez coming the other way.  The move also sees Gateway sending their 2nd round pick to Alamo City with the Battle's 4th round pick going back to GU.  When asked about the deal the answer was one word.  "Upside" ... which we can only speculate means that the club is looking at Rodriguez having gone through the acclimatization to the league last season giving him the best potential to excel this season.  In addition another 2nd round pick will give Alamo City a shot at hitting a home run in what is shaping up to be a very deep draft.

Alamo City is still open to negotiations for the players that remain under their rights until the player deadline.

2018 ALAMO CITY ROSTER:
