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

Forbes returns to San Antonio where he spent two seasons playing with the now-defunct San Antonio Scorpions from 2014-15. During his time with the Scorpions, Forbes appeared in 48 matches, scored nine goals and recorded a club-high 15 assists while helping lead his team to a championship in 2014 at Toyota Field. Forbes led the league in assists in 2014 with seven, while ranking second in the same category the following season with eight. The 26-year-old was named the Player of the Week in Week 7 of the 2015 season.

“We are really glad to have Billy back in San Antonio,” said SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell. “He is an exciting player who we feel can be one of the best players in the USL. He can create opportunities for himself and other players especially in the attacking half. We hope that we can continue to help with his development here in San Antonio.”
