SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio FC announced on Thursday it had added midfielder Lance Laing on loan from FC Cincinnati for the rest of the 2018 USL season pending league and federation approval. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. 

Laing joins San Antonio after appearing in six matches with FC Cincinnati in 2018, tallying 373 minutes. Laing joined Cincinnati after an impressive season with North Carolina FC in 2017 where he scored eight goals and recorded five assists in 24 appearances.

“We welcome Lance as he joins the squad this week,” said SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell. “We are looking forward to working with him, and we expect him to help us here in the final stretch of the season.”

Over seven seasons from 2011-17, Laing amassed over 150 appearances with four different clubs, recording 27 goals and 20 assists, while earning All-League honors with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers in 2011 and in 2014 and 2015 with FC Edmonton. Laing also led the Strikers to a league championship game in 2011 and reached the postseason with both Fort Lauderdale and North Carolina in 2012 and 2017 respectively.

With the addition of Laing, the SAFC roster currently stands at 25. Laing will wear No. 7 for the club.
