BIRMINGHAM, AL (July 12, 2019) – Fans may see a couple of familiar faces back in the squad when Birmingham Legion FC returns to BBVA Field on Saturday, as #21 Zach Herivaux and #11 JJ Williams have both rejoined the team ahead of the match against North Carolina FC.

Herivaux, on loan from MLS club New England Revolution, returns to the Magic City fresh off of a magical run of his own with the Haitian national team in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. After going undefeated in their group by beating Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Bermuda, Haiti overcame a two-goal halftime deficit to defeat Canada 3-2 in the quarterfinals and advanced to the first Gold Cup semifinal in the country’s history. The team fought hard, but fell to Mexico 1-0 in the semis, only on a 93’ minute penalty.

The midfielder played in four of the five matches for Haiti in the tournament, starting and going the full 90’ in two of them.

Williams, who is from Montgomery and grew up playing his club soccer in Birmingham, got the start up top for his MLS club, Columbus Crew, in their last league game on Saturday, a 2-1 loss against the Seattle Sounders. He got off one shot on goal in 76 minutes.

This season for Legion FC, Herivaux has played in nine games, all starts, adding up to 764 minutes in league play. He has two shots, six chances created, 10 clearances, nine interceptions, 18 blocks, and completed 86.2% of his passes (second-best on the team). Williams has played in five games, with three starts, for a total of 341 minutes, and he’s got two goals on seven shots, three chances created, nine clearances, an interception and a tackle.
