Indy Eleven strengthened its roster for the stretch drive of the 2015 NASL Fall Season on Sept. 10 with the signing of midfielder and former U.S. youth international Daniel Cuevas.

“I’m really happy that I’m officially a part of the Indy Eleven squad and able to compete for a spot on game days,” said Cuevas.  “I’m looking forward to helping out where I can for the rest of the season.”

The 22-year-old Cuevas joins Indy Eleven after most recently playing for Lobos BUAP of the Ascenso MX (Mexican second division), where he suited up briefly alongside Mexican legend Cuauhtémoc Blanco in 2013.  Cuevas’ last two games in Ascenso MX play in October 2014 included a goal-scoring effort versus Venados on Oct. 17.  He also made six appearances in Mexico’s domestic club championship, Copa MX, in 2013-14.

Cuevas joined Lobos on loan from Liga MX (first division) powerhouse Club Santos Laguna, where he played for the club’s Under-20 squad after signing in late 2012.  Although he did not see first team minutes during his short stint with the club, he did appear on Santos’ gameday roster for a Copa MX match in August 2013.

The native of Sacramento, Calif., first started turning heads while with the U.S. Under-20 National Team, as he scored twice in three appearances during CONCACAF regional qualifying in February 2013 to help secure the USA’s spot at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey that summer. 

Cuevas returned to the U.S. U-20s for the Finals in June, this time joined by his new Indy Eleven teammate Victor Pineda.  He came on as a substitute in each of the team’s group stage games, first entering late in a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Spain before helping the U.S. to a 1-1 draw with eventual champion France with a goal in the 85th minute.  Cuevas closed out his tournament – as did Team USA – against Ghana in the group stage finale. 

Indy Eleven Interim Head Coach/Director of Soccer Operations Tim Regan: “Daniel showed a lot of talent and promise during his time in U.S. Soccer’s youth national teams system, and he’s proved while training with us over the last couple of months that the talent is still there. He’s a guy that can play either on the left or centrally and has the ability to be a real difference maker for us around the goal.”

Indy Eleven President and General Manager Peter Wilt: “Daniel Cuevas is a talented young player who has a bright future ahead of him. We fully expect Daniel to add to the heightened level of competition in training every day and for minutes on the field as we continue to fight for a spot in The Championship.”
