Nick Wells, a Georgia Southern alumni, has signed with Tormenta FC’s 2019 USL League One team. Wells played midfield two years for Tormenta’s USL League Two team and, pending league and federation approval, will now begin his first professional contract with the franchise.
Weighing in at 6’0” and 180 pounds, the Atlanta native was a starting player during Tormenta FC’s undefeated regular season and first Deep South Division Championship title.
“Nick will be a fantastic addition to our team,” said Head Coach and VP of Player Development, John Miglarese. “His pace and ability to get forward as a wing back will allow our team to be dynamic going forward.”
“I’ve really enjoyed coaching him over the last two PDL seasons,” said Miglarese, “and he has definitely earned his shot at the professional level.”
Wells majored in Sports Management with a minor in Business at Georgia Southern University. He graduated in May 2018. During his time playing for the GSU men’s soccer team, Wells appeared on the Sun Belt All-Conference Team twice and was also the Sun Belt Player of the week two times.
“When you choose to play for Tormenta, you become part of a family,” says Wells. “You won’t find anything like it anywhere else. I’m so blessed and honored to be given this opportunity to continue playing for such an amazing club full of amazing people with amazing fans.”
