The Swope Park Rangers have signed former Sporting KC Academy defender Joe Amico, the club announced on Wednesday. Amico recently completed his collegiate career at Jacksonville University and will join the Rangers ahead of preseason camp in February.
“We’re very pleased to sign Joe as he fits the profile of our model of play,” Swope Park Rangers head coach Nikola Popovic said. “Joe has all the qualities we’re looking for in a right back – he’s explosive and we think he’ll do an excellent job in this position.”
“I’m very excited to start my professional career back in Kansas City where I played in the SKC Academy,” Amico said.
