TAMPA, Fla. – The United Soccer League announced today FC Cincinnati forward Sean Okoli had been voted the 2016 USL Most Valuable Player, adding to the 2016 USL Golden Boot he previously claimed as the league’s leading scorer in FC Cincinnati’s inaugural season.

The 2016 USL Awards were voted on by team management and a league-wide media panel that included representation from every USL market. Voting was conducted following the conclusion of the 2016 USL regular season.

“It was a very fun season for me, especially coming from where I was the last two years,” Okoli said. “I wasn’t getting much playing time, and to have the situation at Cincinnati, playing in front of all the fans and playing attacking soccer, I couldn’t ask for more.”
