Going into his second season at New York City FC, Alex Ring has a strong sense of unfinished business.
The central midfielder, who was one of the league's breakout stars in 2017, admits that the MLS Playoffs defeat to Columbus Crew still nags at him, but he's channeling these feelings into a positive to take into the new campaign.
Despite only joining the club ten days prior to the 2017 season, Ring has emerged as one of NYCFC's leaders on the field and in the locker room, setting the standards, both in terms of his quality and his tenacity.
