RENO, Nev. – Reno 1868 FC has re-signed forward Aidan Apodaca for the 2020 season, pending league and federation approval. Last season, Apodaca scored five goals and tallied three assists in 15 appearances.

“Aidan adds a different component to our attack,” said head coach Ian Russell. “He has a lot of pace and can stretch the defense. Last season he had one of the top scoring rates per minute on the team and we’re looking forward to having him on the pitch this season.”

Apodaca’s five goals were tied for fourth on the club, and his three assists were ninth. Apodaca’s 134 minutes per goal were third fewest on the team in 2019.

Apodaca joins a strong 2020 attack for Reno. Apodaca, Corey Hertzog and Foster Langsdorf combined to score 31 goals last season, and rookie Benji Kikanovic is coming off of a strong collegiate season.

With the signing, Reno’s 2020 roster stands as follows:

Defenders: (4) Brent Richards, Thomas Janjigian, Yosimar Hernandez, Ayrton Statie

Midfielders: (5) Sam Gleadle, Mouhamed Dabo, Tucker Bone, Sergio Rivas, Kevin Partida

Forwards: (4) Corey Hertzog, Benji Kikanovic, Foster Langsdorf, Aidan Apodaca
