After recently acquiring Trinidad & Tobago and former Premier League forward Kenwyne Jones, the expansion side has completed a move for San Lorenzo attacker Hector “Tito” Villalba.
The 21-year-old came up with San Lorenzo at the age of 10 in the team’s youth system, before making his senior team debut in 2012. In his time with the squad, Villalba made over 100 appearances for the Argentine club and netted 16 goals.
