Tormenta FC Signs Richmond Kickers’ Daniel Jackson
Tormenta FC has signed forward Daniel Jackson for the 2020 season, pending league and federation approval. Jackson played for the Richmond Kickers in 2019 where he scored four goals and one assist in 22 games played.
“Daniel is another strong addition to our forward line,” Tormenta FC Head Coach John Miglarese said. “His experience, ability to stretch defenses and his desire to be part of our project made it an easy choice when we had the opportunity to sign him. I expect him to add a feature that was lacking in our attack last season.”
Jackson began his extensive professional career in 2014 with North Carolina FC. The forward then spent more time in the USL Championship, signing with Charlotte Independence, Oklahoma City Energy and Saint Louis FC in the coming years. In 2018, Jackson started the year with Devonport City in the National Premier Leagues Tasmania side before signing with Bollklubben-46 in Finland where he scored four goals and one assist in eight matches.
“Hearing John speak about his philosophical approach to the game, along with the core group of players returning made it an easy choice to join Tormenta FC,” Jackson said. “I’m looking forward to the 2020 season and giving all I can for the club and town!”
Jackson joins 14 players signed to Tormenta’s 2020 roster including goalkeeper Pablo Jara; defenders Lars Eckenrode, Mike O’Sullivan, Josh Phelps and Jordan Skelton; midfielders Jad Arslan, Lucas Coutinho, Ricardo Gomez, Luca Mayr, Marco Micaletto, Abuchi Obinwa and Nil Vinyals; and forwards Pato Botello Faz and Mikie Rowe.
