Stone Sports Management LLC (Columbus, Ohio) - January 26, 2016

Stone Sports Management LLC ("SSM") is excited to announce Goalkeeper Caleb Patteron-Sewell's return to North America having signed with 2016 NASL Expansion Franchise Rayo OKC for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.  The 28 year old Tennessee native last played in North America with the Carolina Railhawks in 2011 before departing to Portugal with Atletico Portugal where he had a standout season and was a Portuguese League for Professional Football (LPFP) Goalkeeper of the Year Finalist.  Caleb would then transfer to Portuguese Superliga club Vitoria Setubal where he would play against league giants Sporting Lisbon, Benfica and SC Braga. After one season with Setubal, he transferred to Gil Vicente and spent the next two seasons in the Portuguese Superliga.

"This is the ideal time for me returning to North American football,' reflected Caleb.  "I am really looking forward to working with Alen Marcina and starting on this new project.  I have had other opportunities to work with Alen in the past that did not quite materialize and helping to build a foundation is a challenge that excites me.  I have been watching the league grow since I left four years ago and really looking forward to make my mark after spending the last four years in Portugal.  It is equally exciting for me to be able to play at home in the States after the recent birth of my son."  

Caleb is one of a few domestic Goalkeepers to have had experience at Europes top academies (Liverpool, Sheffield Wednesday and Anderlecht), USL (Cleveland City), NASL (Carolina Railhawks, Miami FC), MLS (New York Red Bulls) and Europe.  Caleb was part of the record-breaking 2010 Carolina Railhawks team and was on the bench for 2008 MLS Cup where the Red Bulls lost to Columbus Crew at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.

"Caleb has grown tremendously and developed his game since he left for Portugal and is now coming back to the NASL with a chip on his shoulder," remarked SSM's President and Players' Agent Justin B. Stone.  "Rayo OKC is getting a fantastic Goalkeeper and person to help with the new venture and I look forward to seeing Caleb reach new heights in 2016 and beyond."  

Caleb had been without a club since summer and despite offers to remain in Portugal and other European countries, he was focused on returning to the United States for his son to be born here.  He had opportunities to trial with MLS clubs in fall but was unable to see them out due to his rights being held by the New York Red Bulls from 2008.  Discussions with Rayo OKC started at the end of 2015 and were recently concluded.
