Head Coach Ian Cameron spoke about his newest midfielder saying, “Conor is a player our staff has wanted to work with for a while. Midfielders who know where their next pass is and who see the field are really important, and Conor does that as well as anyone in USL League One. He understands the demands on both sides of the ball, having been part of one of the most physically dominant midfields over the past three seasons.” Cameron continued, “Add to that his set piece deliveries and the complete picture of the player is very good. So once we knew Conor had interest in joining our club we moved. We’re excited to welcome him and Danielle to our community and for our fans to get to witness his calming influence on the field.”
