Louisville City FC signs pair of defenders

Ahead of its inaugural season, the Louisville City Football Club announced a second pair of player signings to its roster Tuesday. Defenders Adam West and Sean Reynolds will compete for the local USL Pro franchise when play starts this spring.

West, a 28-year-old from Washington, played for FC Edmonton of the North American Soccer League, where he made 10 appearances in 2012. He spent the last two years with the Seattle Sounders' development team while returning from injuries.

"Adam was without a doubt one of the best players at the professional combine we hosted in November," head coach James O'Connor said in a team news release. "He will provide a great attacking threat for us from left full-back, and we are extremely pleased to have someone of Adam's ability on board for our inaugural season."

Reynolds, 24-year-old Florida native, most recently played for a club in Iceland after VSI Tampa Bay FC, a USL Pro franchise, folded last year.

"Sean gained great experience while playing in the Premier League in Iceland and the Europa League," O'Connor said. "He can play a number of positions and will be a great asset that gives us flexibility in our first season."

Louisville City FC previously announced its first three signings in January: midfielder trio Juan Guzman, Kadeem Dacres and Guy Abend.

With Major League Soccer schedules already released, USL Pro's should come out later this month. Louisville City FC, an affiliate with the MLS' Orlando City Soccer Club, will play home games at Slugger Field and sharing it with the Triple-A Louisville Bats in a year for major USL Pro growth. The third-tier league is adding as many as a dozen new clubs in 2015.
