Across State Lines: Hasler Signs in Switzerland

Players continue movement to new clubs with the transfer window open in Europe and preseason beginning for American clubs. One former player on Sporting Kansas City has a new club as Nicolas Hasler has returned to the Swiss league, signing for FC Thun in the Swiss Super League. Thun is currently in 10th place, at the bottom of the league sitting on nine points, five points away from the relegation playoff and nine points from safety as they get ready to end their winter break this weekend. Thun will have a fight on their hands to stay in the top division. Hasler will get the chance to match up against another former KC player as Jordi Quintilla still plays for St. Gallen, who currently sit in third place 27 points ahead of Thun.

Other players that have joined new teams are two newly drafted KC natives as Sinclaire Miramontez and Addisyn Merrick were drafted in the NWSL draft, with both heading to the defending champion North Carolina Courage. Also in the NWSL, Maegan Kelly is back in the league as she’s signed on with the Houston Dash for the 2020 season after splitting time in 2019 between Italy and the Reign FC.

Also this week, congratulations to Tomas Granitto, the former Swope Park Ranger with one appearance for Sporting made his international debut for the full El Salvador national team starting their 1-0 loss to Iceland this past week.

Here’s the rest of this week’s update.
