MIAMI (January 28, 2020) – Left-back János Löbe has signed with The Miami FC ahead of the 2020 USL Championship season*, the club announced Tuesday.

Although originally from Kierspe, Germany, Löbe moved to the United States in 2015, where he attended Fordham University. Löbe was a standout during his four years in collegiate soccer, being named the Atlantic-10 Offensive Player of the Year in two occasions, while scoring 26 goals and picking up 31 assists in 79 games. 

"We're excited to have János join Miami FC," commented Head Coach Nelson Vargas. "He has the ability to get into attacking positions and has a very good left foot. He will give us depth and tactical flexibility as well."

In 2019, Löbe made 24 appearances for New York Red Bulls II in the USL Championship, including one playoff appearance. While known for his defensive capabilities, his pace down the left side of the pitch also makes him a threat offensively. In his first professional season, he recorded seven assists, while also scoring one goal.
