STATESBORO, Ga. – South Georgia Tormenta FC is excited to announce the signing of English defender Curtis Thorn to its 2020 USL League One roster. Thorn is eligible to play starting this Friday against Orlando City B.
To complete the signing, the club has acquired an additional international spot from Forward Madison FC. Per club policy, the terms of the transaction with Madison were not disclosed.
“Curtis is another top player we’ve plucked from our USL League Two environment,” TFC Head Coach John Miglarese said. “He performed exceptionally well during the 2019 season and was due to play for Tormenta FC 2 this summer, but COVID-19 got in the way. He has trained with us all summer and has shown he is more than ready for the jump to USL League One. I expect him to feature regularly over the coming months.”
The 6-foot-1-inch, 176-pound defender was a staple in Tormenta FC 2’s defense last season with nine clean sheets during the regular season, while helping the team clinch its second Deep South Division title and its first Southern Conference title. On the offensive side, Thorn recorded one assist and seven shots in 16 games played.
