The Swope Park Rangers announced not just the rumored one player, but a second player on Friday. The announced forward Jose Barragan, that we announced earlier in the week and they also added a Russian-born, French midfielder.
The players will both be added to the roster pending league and federation approval.
Since we already talked about Barragan, let’s start with Rassambek Akhmatov. He’s just 22-years-old and has played his previous two years for FC Miami City who play in unofficial fourth tier USL Premier Development League (USL PDL). Akhmatov, who is both a French and Russian citizen, spent time with FR Haguenau’s Academy.
