Miami FC Inks Rezende Twins

Miami FC announced the signings of twin midfielders, Calvin and Conner Rezende, on Saturday. The pair has delivered top performances throughout their collegiate careers and will be making their NASL debut with Miami FC for its inaugural season this spring.

“Calvin and Conner are extremely skilled and talented at such an early stage of their career,” head coach Alessandro Nesta said. “They’ll be worth keeping an eye on as we move into our first season. I’m looking forward to seeing this pair of young talent develop and contribute to our team alongside our veteran midfielders, [Wilson] Palacios and Matuzalem.”

Both Conner and Calvin have spent the majority of their collegiate careers alongside one another in the midfield. The twins started their collegiate careers at the University of Virginia in 2011, but In pursuit of professional careers Conner and Calvin took some time in Europe to train with Cadiz FC in Spain and Crotone FC in Italy where they were able to develop and refine their skills.

Upon coming back to the States, the midfielders went to St. Francis University where Conner was second in assists and third in goals scored in the Northeastern Conference. Shortly after, the twins spent time with the PDL’s Michigan Bucks where Calvin led the team in assists and a nomination for the PDL’s MVP.
