SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio FC announced on Tuesday it had signed midfielder and Texas native Kris Tyrpak for the 2017 USL season pending USL and federation approval. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Tyrpak joins San Antonio FC from fellow USL club the Swope Park Rangers, where he helped lead his team to the USL Cup Final in 2016 after securing the Western Conference Championship. Tyrpak scored seven goals and recorded one assist in 28 regular-season games for the Rangers this season before adding three goals and an assist in four playoff matches.

The 24-year-old – who was named the PDL's Most Valuable Player in 2013 – previously spent time in the Alamo City with the now-defunct San Antonio Scorpions in 2015. Tyrpak scored two goals in just six matches with the Scorpions, including an impressive 30-yard volley at Toyota Field in October, 2015.

“We are pleased to add Kris to our attacking group of players for 2017,” said SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell. “Kris is an established player with MLS and USL experience who demonstrates good work ethic and character. We expect him to come into our team and contribute straight away.”
