The return of the veteran defenders helps keep some continuity on one of the top USL defenses. Previously, the team announced the return of Jordan Burt, leaving Christian Ibeagha as the only unsigned defender from the dominant 2016 back 4. The 27 year old Suggs previously played for the Orange County Blues from 2014-2015, scoring 2 goals in 47 appearances.

Fan favorite and Switchback original Josh Phillips returns after a memorable 2016 campaign, in which he scored his first professional goal, and then broke his collarbone in the ensuing celebration.
