SD Loyal Roster Update

Adams, Hackworth and Martin added to new professional soccer club ahead of inaugural season

San Diego Loyal SC announced today the signing of Midfielders Charles James Adams (Charlie Adams), Morgan Hackworth and Collin Martin, pending league and federation approval. The players will join the Club for its inaugural USL Championship season in 2020. The first regular season home game is scheduled to take place on March 7 at Torero Stadium against the Las Vegas Lights FC.

“When forming our roster, we wanted to build a team of players that would rival any in the USL Championship,” said EVP of Soccer Operations and First Team Manager Landon Donovan. “The additions of Charlie, Morgan and Collin show our commitment to bringing San Diego a team that will be competitive from the first game of the season. We are fortunate to have these three young men join Team 1.”
