SEASIDE, California – Monterey Bay Football Club has announced several additional roster moves today. As of now, the team is returning 14 players from the club’s inaugural 2022 squad, pending league and federation approval, with conversations ongoing to return others.
Over the past two weeks the club announced contract extensions for forward Chase Boone, defender Morey Doner, midfielder Adrian Rebollar, and goalkeeper Antony Siaha, as well as new contracts for midfielder Mobi Fehr, forward Sam Gleadle, defender Kai Greene, and goalkeeper Carlos Herrera.
