Sorry, Freddy. Just had to do that.
As picked up on Instagram yesterday, Freddy Kleemann was spotted hanging out with Khano Smith and members of the team at a Birmingham movie theater after watching The Batman. Obviously a poor viewing choice. The team today confirmed the defender’s return to the Legion on a season-long loan from Austin FC of MLS.
Freddy’s tenure at the Three Sparks last year was brief – just two games – as he was recalled to Austin which was at the time working through some injury problems on the back line. He played 47 minutes in 3 games for the Texans over the course of the season.
For those who don’t remember, Freddy is a 6’4″ centerback and thus fits in well with the team’s sizeable back line philosophy. He will likely fill a similar role to Ben Ofeimu (who is now with The Miami FC), providing some added depth and youth to an already solid defense.
Welcome back, Freddy!
