Rosters in USL League One and NISA, located at the bottom of the professional US Soccer pyramid, are fairly dynamic year over year. Fans, players, and management understand that most if not all would jump to a better opportunity given the chance. They understand that for many, this is their last chance and that many new players are working hard to replace them.
As of the time of this writing, USL League One rosters are mostly complete. There are still a lot of outstanding free agents, and there are others who have moved on to other opportunities outside of USL League One. We’ll check in with those who have moved on to see where they ended up.
Note: this list includes free transfers and club-to-club transfers. It does not include those who were on loan to a USL League One club in 2022.
