A versatile midfielder, Magee held an average passing accuracy of 84.4% and 26 key passes, in addition to notching three goals and two assists for himself. Magee was also named to Team of the Week for the USL Championship for week 24.

The native of Kingston, Jamaica is also a member of the Jamaican Men’s National Team, with whom he has competed in four different international competitions, the most notable being the 2019 Gold Cup, and qualification matches for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He has appeared in nine matches, starting three, for the Reggae Boyz tallying 368 minutes.
“Tyreek has produced some moments of magic for us last season,” said Assistant Coach James Chambers. “He has tremendous ability on the ball that is enjoyable to watch at times. We are excited to have him return for 2024. With a full pre-season under his belt, we look forward to him continuing to develop to his full potential”
