CINCINNATI – FC Cincinnati announced on Tuesday the club had signed Jamaican international Lance Laing. The signing is pending league and federation approval.

“Lance has exceptional pace and a fantastic left foot,” FCC Head Coach Alan Koch said. “He can play either as a full-back or out wide as a winger. His versatility will give us options and he is a major threat on free-kicks. He not only has the ability to score goals but also has a creative element to his game. We look forward to welcoming him and his family to Ohio.”

Laing has played more than 150 matches in his professional career, earning All-League honors on three occasions since joining the Fort Lauderdale Strikers ahead of the 2011 season. He spent the 2017 season with North Carolina FC, where he notched eight goals and five assists in 24 appearances.

The 29-year-old has also made seven appearances for the Jamaica National Team, including being part of the Reggae Boyz squad that reached the final of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
