OKLAHOMA CITY – OKC Energy FC announced on Thursday it had re-signed midfielder Daniel Jackson. The contract is pending league and federation approval.

Jackson, a 6-foot-1 forward from Maryland appeared in two matches for Energy FC last season before suffering a season-ending injury. One of the fastest players on the roster, Jackson was drafted by Real Salt Lake in the 2014 MLS Superdraft. Professionally, he has 34 games worth of experience with Charlotte Independence and Carolina RailHawks.

“He was unlucky with a bad injury last year,” said Energy FC Head Coach Jimmy Nielsen. “I thought he was off to a great start with us when he got injured. During the time of his rehab, he’s been very professional and worked extremely hard. I have a feeling he will be mentally and physically stronger than ever when we open our training in a couple of weeks.”
