Sam Hamilton loaned to Phoenix Rising FC
While the big news of the day was the Dillon Powers trade, something else happened that seemed to fly under the radar - rookie Sam Hamilton has been loaned to USL side Phoenix Rising FC. Also known as “Drogba’s Team”, Hamilton will be joining Omar Bravo, Shaun Wright-Phillips, and Didier Drogba in the Valley of the Sun.
The Right to Recall was part of the agreement, which means the Colorado Rapids can get Hamilton back anytime they want during the rest of the regular MLS season.
Hamilton was signed by the Rapids after being selected in the first round of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft (15th overall).
