INDIANAPOLIS — Soc Takes has learned that once-Costa Rican U-20 international Brandon Poltronieri and ex-Bayern Munich youth product Jason Plumhoff have signed contracts with Indy Eleven. Poltronieri and Plumhoff are primarily midfielders, although both are capable of playing other positions; Poltronieri as a left back, while Plumhoff has played in attacking midfielder positions.

Both players have previous experience in the NASL. Poltronieri played for the Atlanta Silverbacks and Ottawa Fury, while Plumhoff played for both FC Edmonton and Jacksonville Armada FC.

Indy Eleven’s squad has been decimated by injuries of late, including injuries to (bae) Don Smart, Ben Speas and (Super Striker) Nemanja Vukovic.

The signings have been completed and both players are expected to be available for Saturday’s home game against FC Edmonton.
