LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Defending USL champion Louisville City FC announced on Tuesday it had signed former USL Cup champion Pat McMahon as its first new signing of the offseason. The signing is pending league and federation approval.

McMahon claimed the 2015 USL Cup with the Rochester Rhinos before spending the past two seasons with Louisville’s River Cities Cup rival FC Cincinnati. McMahon made two appearances for FCC in the 2017 season, but has made 83 regular-season appearances in the USL over the past four seasons, having played at least 26 games in each of the 2014-16 seasons.

“I’m excited – obviously the fans compare to where I’ve been the last four years. There’s good support here. The club is run well and I’m excited about that,” said McMahon. “Coming off a league win and winning the playoffs – I’d love to do that again! I feel excited to get going and get down there and start work during preseason.”
