A week after midfielder John Stertzer parlayed an encouraging preseason performance into a contract with NYCFC, Ben Sweat has officially made good in his own right. The 25 year old defensive trialist is the newest member of the Boys in Blue.
“Ben has come in and done really well,” New York City sporting director Claudio Reyna said in today’s official press release. “He’s demonstrated a clear understanding of how Patrick wants this team to play. He’s got a really good left foot and he seems like someone who has adapted to our style right from day one.
