The LA Galaxy announced on Tuesday they have loaned defender Marcus Ferkranus to USL Championship side Phoenix Rising FC for the remainder of the 2022 season.
Ferkranus, 19, is in his second season with the Galaxy first team, after signing as a homegrown ahead of the 2021 campaign. But he has yet to make a first-team appearance at competitive level for the MLS side, instead featuring for LA Galaxy II, including four appearances this season, so he has considerable experience at the USL Championship level.
Phoenix Rising are normally one of the top teams in the league and virtually steamrolling opponents on the regular, but they are stuck way below the playoff line this year and a move for Ferkranus had been rumored this week.
