RICHMOND, VA – (Friday, January 22, 2016) – The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce that homegrown goalkeeper Ryan Taylor has re-signed for the 2016 season.
“I’m very excited to be back playing in my hometown for another year,” commented Taylor. “We have a good core group of guys returning who are motivated to push for a Championship and I’m looking forward to starting preseason camp.”
Taylor returns for his fourth season with the Kickers after making 17 appearances in 2015. He posted a career best five shutouts and a 9-5-3 goalkeeper record en route to a USL Eastern Conference Quarterfinals finish.
