LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Louisville City FC announced on Wednesday it had signed Oscar Jimenez, who is expected to add depth to the club’s midfield. The signing is pending league and federation approval.

Jimenez has played a variety of midfield positions during his career, most recently for Premier Development League side Mississippi Brilla FC. There, he was the team’s co-leading scorer in 2016 with four goals, and also registered two assists in 14 appearances.

“Oscar impressed us with his quality, receiving skills and awareness,” said Louisville Head Coach James O’Connor. “He also possesses the personality and values we look for in players.”

Jimenez spent the 2015 season with the USL Western Conference club Tulsa Roughnecks FC after featuring for the NCAA Division II Western Washington Vikings near his hometown of Mount Vernon, Wash.

“I felt like I was very composed, positive and encouraging to everyone that was there,” Jimenez said of his chance to impress in Louisville’s preseason tryouts. “I pretty much like putting the team first instead of trying to do too much myself to impress the coaches. I think a team-first mentality stood out to James. Now I’m just excited to get out there and to figure out where James sees me fitting in the best and how I can contribute to the team.”
