Albuquerque, NM – New Mexico United is thrilled to announce the return of goal-scoring forward and club legend Santi Moar. United fans will undoubtedly recall Moar’s incredible contributions to the club in its inaugural 2019 season. The Ordes, Spain native scored 12 goals in 2019 – the second-highest season total in club history Moar comes to United via a transfer with Phoenix Rising FC. In return, United sends an international slot to Phoenix.
“Santi draws your attention wherever he is on the field due to his ability to consistently beat opponents off the dribble and complete dangerous passes,” said United Head Coach/Technical Director Zach Prince. “These qualities – coupled with his ability to score goals – make him an exciting addition to our attacking group. I’m happy to bring Santi back to New Mexico where he belongs”
At every stop in Moar’s career, he’s proven himself to be a dangerous, goal-scoring threat. In total, he’s netted 44 times over six seasons as a po, and assisted 43 more in all competitions. Moar scored in seven consecutive matches at the end of 2020/beginning of 2021, the second-longest such streak in USL Championship history.
“I couldn’t be more excited with this opportunity to play for New Mexico United,” said Moar. “I am thankful for my time in Phoenix, and also for their willingness to make this transaction a reality. Going back to New Mexico, for me, is like returning home. It’s here that I had the best memories of my professional career – a joy that was really hard to replicate. The moment I heard they were interested in having me back, I was just hoping all parties could agree to make it happen. I know how much it would mean to win a championship for this state, and that is the motivation that I need at this point in my career.”
