Everything is starting to shape up for Forward Madison FC’s inaugural season.
After revealing the brand’s identity (think pink!) last month and the club’s partnership with Minnesota United on Friday, the Flamingos have immediately begun building for the 2019 season, which they’ll play in USL League One, the new American third division.
Madison opted for experience in their first player signing, which actually came back in October. Attacking midfielder Don Smart, a Jamaican who has made a career in USL, joined the team as a free agent. “He has the ability to both score and assist, but it’s his overall qualities on both sides of the ball that fans will be most excited about,” said manager and technical director Daryl Shore in the club’s release.
