Club Co-Owner Diplo appears on Men In Blazers

Phoenix Rising FC got a little national attention on Tuesday when club co-owner Diplo visited the crap part of SoHo to join the Men in Blazers.

Berke Bakay drops in with Brad Cesmat

Later in the week fellow co-owner and club governor Berke Bakay visited The Brad Cesmat Show on Sports360AZ.com and spoke with the host about his personal connection with soccer, why he decided to invest in Phoenix Rising FC and the potential future for the club.

Two more players added to the 2017 Roster

The club wasn't all glamor in front of a camera this week. On the technical side, the club announced the signing of two new players: defender Victor Vasquez and forward Matthew Hurlow-Paonessa.

Phoenix Rising FC head coach Frank Yallop said of Vasquez: "He stood out at both of the combines I saw him at. He's an exciting, fast, left fullback that gets forward well and is very comfortable on the ball."

On Hurlow-Paonessa, he said: "I saw him at the Ventura combine, and he was a big, fast, and exciting forward that caught my eye. The more I watched him, the more I liked him. And I think his work rate and attitude should be a good asset to the club.”

The club now has 14 players signed for the 2017 season.
