He has a strong work ethic, can score goals and has clearly matured during his time in MLS." He added that the player also possesses the character and professionalism the club values.

Connor Ronan said, "I'm delighted to have everything finalised and can't wait to get started," after confirming his move. He explained that early talks with the manager clarified the club's ambitions and his role within them.
