LAS VEGAS – After recently revealing the Las Vegas Lights FC logo, founder and owner Brett Lashbrook has looked forward to the future of the 2018 expansion USL club. Speaking in an interview on the Free Kicks Report podcast, Lashbrook teased upcoming announcements, and spoke about the community in Las Vegas as the excitement for city's professional soccer team builds.

“We have several exciting announcements coming up in the coming weeks for us from coaching staff, to big sponsors, to MLS preseason matches, to a variety of other initiatives we’ll be doing related to our roster,” said Lashbrook.

With experience in starting a club at former USL club Orlando City SC, Lashbrook has been able to engage local businesses as he works on those sponsorship deals.

“I don’t want to give too much away, they’re both working simultaneously and I’m excited for both of them,” said Lashbrook. “I’ve done this now a handful of times in different markets but you never quite know how the business community is going to react is it going to be more of ‘that’s great but you’re talking the talk, once you’re walking the walk come back’ or if they understand what you are doing straight away, and thankfully here it’s been the latter.

“We can point to these success stories in the USL, like Sacramento, Louisville, and Cincinnati, so the community here understands what it is that we are building and immediately stepped forward and said we want to be part of that.”
