HARRISBURG, Pa. – The Harrisburg City Islanders announced on Tuesday the club had exercised its contract option on midfielder Danny DiPrima for the 2017 USL season. The signing is pending league and federation approval.

DiPrima will enter his fourth season with the City Islanders in 2017 after making 16 appearances for the side last season. DiPrima has made 49 appearances over the past three seasons since joining the City Islanders after a solid college career at North Carolina State University.

"He had an injury his second year (2015) that cut his season short,” said City Islanders Head Coach Bill Becher. “He was still fighting back from that in 2016. He had some good moments and did some good things...but being a year removed from the injury, he'll be a lot better in 2017."
