Antúnez was originally selected in the third round of the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft by the Colorado Rapids. “Very thankful to be here and it’s a great opportunity with the new franchise,” Antúnez said. “Seems like we have a good quality players and obviously it’s a short span before our first game, but I think we will have a good team and a good season.” Hailing from Bridgewater Township, New Jersey, Kassel joins Arizona United SC after making five appearances for the Philadelphia Union in 2013. The former Homegrown New York Red Bulls signee made two league appearances after signing with the Red Bulls in 2011.

Kassel played three seasons for the University of Maryland Terrapins, where he appeared in 68 matches and scored 11 goals while notching 24 assists. In his freshman year, Kassel was named TopDrawerSoccer.com Rookie of the Year and helped guide the Terrapins to their third NCAA Men’s Soccer National Championship. “It’s an exciting time,” Kassel said. “I think especially for this whole community, the city of Phoenix and the whole state of Arizona. The soccer community around here is large and I think everybody knows that and it hasn’t been exposed. I’m excited to come here to help the team perform, get results, get this community on board with a winning team and a winning program.” With the signing of these two players Arizona United SC now has four players under contract. Earlier this week Arizona United SC announced the signings of forwards Brad Stisser and Brandon Swartzendruber.
