“I’m very excited to be back for this upcoming season. 2023 was a year of learning lessons and I’m ready to apply what I’ve learned,” said Herrera. “Weidner Field is probably the best environment to play in the USL and I believe we have the best fans in the league that deserve a trophy. I’m looking forward to going after it again in 2024!”
