Rowdies Sign Defender Conner Antley To 2-Year Contract

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — The Tampa Bay Rowdies signed defender Conner Antley to a two-year contract, a news release said.

Antley, 25, was named the United Soccer League One Defender of the Year in 2019 when he played for Tormenta FC, according to the Rowdies' website. Antley started 26 games and scored six goals during that season.

“Our defenders from 2020 were absolute warriors with their willingness to keep the ball out the net,” Rowdies Head Coach Neill Collins said. “The biggest compliment I can pay Conner is that he will add even more skill to this group. He is a true competitor with fantastic physical attributes that will make him a perfect fit for our team. Conner showed a great desire to join the Rowdies, and we were just as keen to make him part of our 2021 team.”

The Rowdies have also resigned goalkeeper Ian Mcgrane to a one-year deal with a club option for 2022.

The team's roster has 15 players, and more will be added in the near future.
