Waiting for a first chance to pull on the NYCFC shirt on an MLS gameday, John Stertzer has had to be patient.
The midfielder, who joined the club after a successful trial in the offseason, came in against Orlando City as a substitute with 17 minutes remaining.
Stertzer certainly did his hopes of earning more minutes in the coming weeks no harm whatsoever with a promising cameo which included a number of nice touches in between the lines.
The 26-year old Fairfax-born midfielder expressed his frustration that it wasn’t a winning debut for him but is eager for more opportunities to impress in a busy six weeks ahead.
