Conor Agnew (23 y/o) a Mid-Fielder from Fort Mill, South Carolina who's last team was Puerto Rico FC in NASL has joined Derry City in the Republic of Ireland's Premier League. Derry City ended 4th last season.
The club has brought in 5 new players, of which Conor is one, following a trial "just prior to the end of the season" saying
“He was here on trial and he is a dynamic mid field player who offers a different type of play to what we currently have and I think it will work well for us.”
Conor came up through the NC State Warriors and joined Charlotte 49ers before joining PR FC
Let's hope it all works out well for Conor in the coming season

A lot of action today, although nothing particularly news-worthy. Mario Rodriguez scored for M'Gladbach II and Dominic Robinson for Memmingen, both in Germany's Regionalliga. In Finland it was a busy day, with 9 US players on display (2 in Veikkausliiga, 7 in Ykkonen) so it looks like the Yanks are back in Finland again.
