Vortex Add Sechrist to Squad

CANTON, OH – December 23, 2009 – The Ohio Vortex (Professional Arena Soccer League) formally announce the signing of veteran defender Wes Sechrist. The 36-year-old Sechrist brings over a decade of experience to the expansion Vortex squad.

A Lakewood High School (OH) graduate, Sechrist began his professional soccer career with the Cleveland Crunch (National Professional Soccer League).  He would go on to play for numerous clubs, including the Utah Freezz (World Indoor Soccer League).    

Sechrist spent the 2008-2009 season with the Detroit Ignition of the Xtreme Soccer League.  For Detroit he appeared in 19 games, contributing 1 goal and 2 assists to go along with 28 blocks. 

“I am glad to have Wes on board with us as his knowledge of the game and his composure under pressure gives us another dimension that can be used that was absent in previous games,” head coach Denzil Antonio commented.  “As the team continues to gel I fully expect to see more preferable results and hopefully see the team contend for a division crown.”
