STATESBORO, Ga. – South Georgia Tormenta FC has signed defender Sergi Nus ahead of its 2021 USL League One season, pending league and federation approval. The Spanish centerback has signed a one-year deal with a club option, his first professional contract. Originally set to play for Tormenta FC 2 in 2020, Nus was invited to train with the first team and impressed the coaching staff throughout the summer.
“Sergi is an intelligent young man who reads the game very well from center back,” TFC Head Coach Ian Cameron said. “He's played at a very high level in college and brings a different skill set than the centerback profiles we've had here at Tormenta for the past couple of seasons. We’re excited to see the new options Sergi provides and to help develop his game for the professional level.”
