Signing: 2015 USL Expansion Franchise Louisville City FC Signs Striker Nate Polak

Stone Sports Management, LLC (“SSM”) is happy to announce that Nebraska native Nate Polak has signed with 2015 USL Expansion Franchise Louisville City FC for the 2015 season.  The 25 year-old Striker signed today as a Free Agent after impressing during pre-season and will add to first year head coach James O'Connor's attack in a 4-3-3 system.  Polak had previously spent the last three seasons with Minnesota United FC where he helped the club win the 2012 NASL Championship, 2014 NASL Spring Championship and the 2014 NASL Regular Season title. 

"Nate has been in camp with us since last month and he's been impressive during this time," Louisville City FC Head Coach James O'Connor said.  "With his goal-scoring ability and his past accomplishments, we are confident Nate will make an immediate impact with the squad."

After a standout career at Hastings College earning All-American Honors as well as winning the NAIA Championship, the New York Red Bulls selected Polak during the MLS Supplemental Draft. An off-field injury set him back and he was unable to participate in the pre-season and would ultimate sign with the Minnesota Stars FC. He scored his first professional goal against the Puerto Rico Islanders which helped the club secure a playoff birth and ultimately winning the title.  

"This is a great move for Nate to be a part of an inaugural seasion in Louisville and to continue his development under James O'Connor," remarked  SSM’s President and Players’ Agent Justin B. Stone. “Nate was behind some talented strikers in Minnesota on the depth chart, and I am confident that with a new slate in Louisville, he will be primed for his best professional season yet." 

SSM would like to congratulate Nate on his signing and wish him the best in his transition to Kentucky. Click HERE to see Louisville City FC's schedule and follow Nate on Twitter @PolakHWHL to follow his progress during the season.
