North Texas SC announces three foreign signings

North Texas SC opens training camp on February 10th and today announced three signings for their 2020 roster; Juan Manuel Alvarez, Pedro “Cuadrado” Conceição Alves and Alisson dos Santos Correa.

According to FCD, Juan Alvarez is on a one year loan from CF Monterrey while Alves and Correa have signed one-year deals with NTXSC with options for 2021.

Alvarez played in the 2015 Dallas Cup SuperGroup with Monterrey winning Group C and knocking off River Plate 1-0 in the Semi-Final before falling to Coritiba 3-1 in the Final.

We have high projections for these guys and they’re hungry to prove themselves. Coming off a championship year we are definitely not looking to take our foot off the gas. We are looking forward to a great season and I am excited for the fans to get to know these players.”
