Ottawa Fury FC are set to announce today the signing of American rightback Ryan Richter.

The former Toronto FC defender spent part of last season on loan with Ottawa Fury, fitting in well with the squad and coaching staff both on and off the pitch. He was released from from Toronto FC at the end of the 2014 campaign.

Richter joined Fury in June of 2014 and seemed to improve as the season progressed. He scored a late equalizer against 2014 NASL Champions San Antonio, rocketing the ball into the net from 6 yards out.

Richter will be reunited with former Toronto FC teammate Andrew Wiedeman following the strikers signing to the club early this week. Wiedeman joined Paulo Jr, Rafael Alves and Mike Randolph as new additions to the Fury Squad, while Richter will be the 14th player returning from the 2014 campaign.

You can expect one more “big” “international” signing from Ottawa Fury in the coming weeks, along with another couple depth signings. Training camp is less than 3 weeks, as players are to report for medicals on February 16th. Winger Paulo Jr is already known to be well into preparations for the season, spending time in the gym at TD Place as he settles into his new home, while other players are expected to arrive closer to training.

Also be on the look out for a Fury announcement regarding pre-season. Friendlies are likely to be set up to help the team condition for the season, don’t expect any international clubs but expect some decent competition.
