“I’m very excited about the strong core that we will have returning,” said Roots Technical Director Jordan Ferrell. “The group we had this past season was special and keeping continuity while adding important pieces will keep the club on the trajectory to go further in 2022. The work to build the most competitive roster possible is underway and we know that this group of returning players are the foundation of a special team for next season and beyond.”
The club is in ongoing discussions with several players from the 2021 team and will announce any further re-signings in the near future.
