LAS VEGAS – Las Vegas Lights FC has added two major names to its Spring Training roster with the announcement that former Mexico internationals Joel Huiqui and Gerardo Lugo have joined the club this week, with the chance to compete in the three February exhibition matches against clubs from Major League Soccer.

Both players have vast experience playing at the highest levels of professional soccer in Mexico, and both have résumés that feature multiple caps with the Mexican National Team.

“This is a clear example of the injustice that exists in our transfer system in Mexico – both are at their peak of their careers, both were key players for Monarcas Morelia and Cruz Azul,” said Lights FC Head Coach Chelís. “Today, they are knocking on doors because they are players who love their profession and have the humbleness to do so. They come to Lights FC to help this team succeed with their experience. All of us should feel proud of having them join this club.”
