Las Vegas, NV – Ahead of the beginning of the team's preseason training camp, Lights FC has signed defender Jordan Murrell to its 2020 roster.

“I'm really looking forward to putting on the Lights FC Jersey. I've been blessed to play football for a living, I'm working to continue improving every time I step out on the pitch", said Lights FC newcomer Jordan Murrell. "I want to take this team to the playoffs and potentially win the championship, I’m looking forward to bettering my career down here”.

Jordan was born in London, England. He relocated with his family to Canada, where he represented the Canadian National Team system throughout their U-18, U-20, and U-23 squads. Played in the collegiate level with Syracuse University, where he had a standout career with 74 appearances over his 4 years as a part of the Orange side. He was selected with the 57th pick of the 2015 Major League Soccer SuperDraft by Real Salt Lake.

Murrell has been in the professional ranks every year since 2015 with 76 of his 96 matches played being in USL Championship, becoming one of the most experienced players on Lights FC's roster in the league. He has previously been a part of USL teams Real Monarchs, Pittsburgh Riverhounds, and Reno 1868 FC.

“Jordan brings a lot of experience in our league to our team, he’s very versatile and quick. He brings a great attitude and he’s a good pro", stated Lights FC manager Eric Wynalda. "His versatility will help us throughout the season, but I’m going to try and lock him in the left-back spot because he pushes the game on the field, he pushes the people around him and in the locker room.”
