Across State Lines: Offseason Signings Begin

Nov 30, 2022 - 6:15 PM

With all US outdoor leagues over at this point now comes all the player movement ahead of their 2023 seasons. A few former Kansas City players have already made their moves for 2023, including one before his status with Sporting KC II was announced. Collin Fernandez, who captained the MLS Next Pro side at times during the season signed on to return to FC Tulsa in the USL Championship. Former Sporting KC player James Musa will also be joining a new club as his signing with the Colorado Springs Switchbacks has already been announced.

This past week two other moves were announced, one for a player going to a new club and one staying with the club he spent 2022 with. Former KC Current goalkeeper, Abby Smith will get a chance to fight for the starting job with Gotham FC after signing with the club. Smith had been the back up for the Portland Thorns in 2022, making just one appearance for them in 2022. The other player is Graham Smith, the former Sporting first round pick who has had his options with Memphis 901 FC picked up for 2023. Smith played in all 34 of Memphis’s league games, playing over 2,800 minutes, scoring 5 goals from the center back position.
