Sporting Kansas City’s USL club, the Swope Park Rangers, have added another player to their 2017 roster. This week they announced the signing of the 2015 USL Rookie of the Year, Kharlton Belmar.
Belmar has spent the prior two seasons with the Portland Timbers 2 after being drafted by their senior club in the second round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. Belmar is a forward who will be much needed on an SPR team that has lost Kris Tyrpak (to San Antonio), Tyler Pasher (SKC), Dane Kelly and Akeil Barrett this offseason. The only forwards on the roster other than Belmar are Mark Anthony Gonzalez and Nansel Selbol.
