New York City FC have announced an extension with United Soccer League affiliate team, Wilmington Hammerheads FC.
The announcement comes on the back of a successful season as an official affiliate.
April 2015 saw defender Connor Brandt and midfielders Kwadwo Poku and Tommy McNamara loaned to Wilmington for a match against the Red Bulls II team, in which the Hammerheads won 3-0.
An open door policy will allow coaches to have the opportunity to observe training sessions and matches as well as share soccer and business expertise between the two clubs.
Claudio Reyna, Sporting Director of New York City FC said:
“We’re excited to extend our relationship with Wilmington Hammerheads for 2016.
