KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Swope Park Rangers announced on Monday the club had signed former Pittsburgh Riverhounds midfielder Lebo Moloto. The signing is pending USL and federation approval.

“I am very happy and thrilled to be a part of the Swope Park Rangers and Sporting Kansas City family,” Moloto said. “I just want to thank everyone who made this move possible. I can’t wait to represent my family and Kansas City, and I can’t wait for preseason to begin.”

“Lebo has very good vision and he’s a very technical player,” Swope Park Rangers head coach Nikola Popovic said. “He’ll be a very good addition for us and he has the quality to achieve a lot of success in this organization.”

Moloto joined the Riverhounds ahead of the 2015 USL season and made 51 appearances for the club over two seasons, scoring seven goals and adding eight assists from midfield while helping the Riverhounds to a USL Cup Playoffs berth in 2015. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2-1 victory against the Richmond Kickers on May 23, 2015 and earned USL Player of the Week honors on Sept. 22, 2015 after scoring in back-to-back games in Week 27.
