Colorado Springs, CO (March 5, 2020) – The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC announced today the club has signed Will Vint on loan from the Colorado Rapids, pending USL Championship, MLS, and USSF approval.



"Will is a technically very sound midfielder with excellent experience in USL Championship and abroad," said Switchbacks Head Coach, Alan Koch. "He fits how we want to play as a team and I look forward to seeing him flourish in our environment. He will challenge his teammates and he will be challenged by them as we have a small core group of central midfielders that are all striving for playing time. We look forward to pushing him to higher levels in his young professional career."

A highly-touted central midfielder from the youth club Real Colorado and the Manchester United Academy, Vint is a Colorado Springs native who most recently spent time with Atlanta United 2 (USL Championship) before returning to his home state to join the Rapids Academy. The 18-year-old midfielder notched a goal and an assist in 16 appearances for Atlanta United 2 last year. Vint signed a homegrown contract with the Colorado Rapids on March 4, 2020.



Per the Right of Recall incorporated in the loan agreement, the Rapids retain the right to recall Vint at any point during the MLS regular season, subject to MLS roster compliance guidelines.
