December 9, 2022 – United Soccer League Championship (USL) – Monterey Bay FC News Release
SEASIDE, Calif. – Monterey Bay F.C. announced today that the club has signed forward Christian Volesky to a new two-year contract, pending league and federation approval. The move returns a key contributor for the Crisp and Kelp ahead of the 2023 season, the club’s second campaign in the USL Championship.
Volesky contributed seven goals and two assists for the Union this season, including a game-winning goal against Sacramento Republic FC in August and a two-goal performance against Phoenix Rising FC in September. Overall, he logged 1,795 minutes last season and earned starts in 21 of his 25 total appearances.
“It is great to have Christian back for the next two years,” said Monterey Bay F.C. Sporting Director and Head Coach Frank Yallop. “Once he got himself fully healthy, he really played well for the team. He added much needed speed and his play in the final third was good with not only goal scoring, but his assists as well.”
In addition to his nine total goal contributions, the Henderson, Nevada native created 23 chances and recorded team-highs in shots (45) and shots on goal (23). Defensively, Volesky added 15 clearances, 11 tackles, four interceptions and two blocks from up top the formation. In addition, Volesky earned USL Championship Team of the Week honors in Week 29.
“For me, it was a simple decision, we have unfinished business,” explained Volesky. “The MBFC family is building something special here, and I am happy to be a part of it. 2023 should be an exciting time for us, and we expect to be playing meaningful games in October and into November.”
