Colorado Springs, CO (February 17th, 2022) – The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC announced Thursday it had signed defender Isaiah Foster from Bethesda SC. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.
“I am excited to be joining the Switchbacks and to begin my professional career with this organization, said Foster. “I am looking forward to becoming a contributing member that helps the team achieve success this season.”
Foster, only 18, comes to the Switchbacks after being a trialist in the 2021 season. He has played in the US Soccer Development Academy with Bethesda SC since 2012, where he participated in a myriad of competitions and tournaments. In 2016 he was selected for the National Identification and Development Program’s ALL id2 team, where he was ranked one of the top 11 in the camp by Top Drawer Soccer. He has been on two champion teams – one for the Dallas SuperCopa and one with the Dallas Cup, and in 2018 participated in the Madrid Youth Cup and the MIC Cup, where he was a quarterfinalist.
“Isaiah trialed with us last year and we were encouraged by his size and skill set at his age,” said General Manager and Head Coach Brendan Burke. “He trained with us for over a week and didn’t have one bad day during the period. We are excited to see how he develops in our environment this year.”
