GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - F.C. New York of USL PRO has added four former St. John’s University players to its 2011 team with the signings of Derby Carillo, Kyle Hoffer, David Reed and Tadeu Terra. The four signings are pending USL and USSF approval.
“These are four fine players,” F.C. New York Head Coach Matt Weston said. “Getting them back to Belson Stadium is as close to home as one can get.”
The players appeared together in Manhattan for the announcement at the Fitzpatrick Hotel prior to attending a viewing party for the UEFA Champions League match between Arsenal and Barcelona.
