Players

Indy Eleven tacked another attacker on to the squad’s roster on April 14, 2016, with the addition of Jamaican forward Owayne “Omar” Gordon via a loan deal with Jamaican Red Stripe Premier League side Montego Bay United.

The 24-year-old Gordon became the 22nd player on the Indy Eleven roster for the 2016 NASL Spring Season and will occupy the sixth of team’s seven available international player roster slots.

Gordon has spent the entirety of his five-year professional career with Montego Bay United, during which he has helped the squad to the 2013/14 RSPL championship, a runner-up finish the following season and a spot in this year’s four-team playoff, currently in the semifinal stages.

The winger joined Indy Eleven while enjoying the best form of his young career after leading the Red Stripe Premier League with 18 goals, 12 of which have come in the second half of the campaign since January. Gordon also made two appearances on CONCACAF Champions League play last fall off the bench for Montego Bay United, playing a combined 48 minutes in Group Stage fixtures versus MLS side D.C. United and Arabe Unido of Panama.

Indy Eleven head coach Tim Hankinson on Gordon: “Omar is an explosive player who is a finished product around goal. He has the ability to score goals while attacking from either wing position, can help create assists and works just as hard on the defensive side as he does in attack. Being a former player of mine, Omar is familiar with the system I’ve installed here. That coupled with the fact he’s been in-season with Montego Bay United means he will be able to contribute to the squad as soon as he arrives.”
