San Antonio FC has signed midfielder David Loera to an extension, the team announced today. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“We are excited to continue our relationship with David here at SAFC,” said head coach Alen Marcina. “David was challenged with injuries, however he always demonstrated a high-level commitment to our team identity. We are eager to see more of his game-changing qualities as we defend our championship title.”

Loera appeared in 14 matches for San Antonio in 2022, including six starts and a pair of goals.
