STATESBORO, Ga. – California Baptist University striker Bryan Iliohan has been announced as the newest addition for Tormenta FC 2, pending league and federation approval. Hailing from the Netherlands, the forward led the Western Athletic Conference with 13 goals in Fall 2021 and earned a place on the All-WAC First Team.
“Bryan is a player we are thrilled to have at the club,” TFC 2 Head Coach Tom Morris commented. “This past year at California Baptist University, Bryan burst onto the scene scoring 13 goals in 18 games.
“I am confident our midfielders are going to love playing with Bryan as he has the mentality, timing, and pace to run in behind, as well as a cool consistency in front of goal. While we are sure our Tormenta fans are going to enjoy seeing him play, we hope opposition defenses feel differently.”
After scoring five goals in two consecutive matches, the Dutch striker earned a spot on the Men’s National Team of the Week for both Top Drawer Soccer and College Soccer News in Sept. 2021. Iliohan also gained experience in the Netherlands with amateur team FC Lisse, playing 13 matches and scoring two goals.
“Tormenta FC can help me develop more as a player and help me achieve my dreams of becoming a professional soccer player,” Iliohan said. “Tormenta competes every year for the League Two title and brings in quality players, so I’m really excited to get started and bring in a national title.”
Iliohan joins French forward Alexis Ledoux, electric midfielder Jalen James, Brazilian defender Gabriel Alves, and Pacific University goalkeeper Eric Cotton on the team’s growing 2022 roster. Supporters should stay tuned for additional player announcements, kit reveals and more across the club.
Tormenta FC is excited to open its new soccer-specific stadium this year, set to be located at the corner of Old Register Rd. and Tormenta Way. The 5300-seat stadium will serve as home to the club’s USL League One, League Two and W League squads, as well as Georgia Southern University Men’s and Women’s NCAA Division I soccer teams. When not in play, the stadium will host concerts, conventions and more.
Fans can secure their seats at the new Tormenta Stadium with numerous ticket options available like 2022 Season Memberships+ and Flex Ticket Packages.
