El Paso Locomotive FC midfielder Richie Ryan re-signed with the club, pending league and federation approval. This will be Ryan’s fourth season with Los Locos, having signed with the club as part of the inaugural team in the 2019 campaign.
Ryan, 36, signed with El Paso Locomotive from FC Cincinnati in January 2019 and has since brought experience and leadership while standing as a core part of the team. In his first three seasons with the club, Ryan has helped lead the team to two back-to-back Western Conference Finals and a third consecutive playoff appearance. Since 2019, Richie Ryan amassed 5,587 minutes over 74 appearances, with El Paso Locomotive, earning one assist from the defensive midfield.
