Randi PattersonThe Ironmen shook up their roster this weekend when they sent Frederico Moojen to the Chicago Storm in return for forward Randi Patterson.
Patterson, a Hackensack, NJ native, started his club career in 2007 as a member of Red Bull New York. The 23-year-old most recently played for the Charleston Battery where he lead the club with 10 goals. He had registered two assists in seven matches this season for the Storm.
Moojen leaves the Irons after scoring four goals and one assist this year. The Brazilian forward earned Rookie of the Year honors last season after a 22 goal campaign. He has been hampered by a toe injury.
The move comes on the heels of a dismal three game slide that dropped the Irons to a disappointing 3-5 record. The team is hoping that the shakeup bolsters team chemistry."We just felt that we had too many targets and needed to create a better mix of midfielders and targets on our roster," said Ironmen head coach Omid Namazi in the press release.
We hope it works. The season is too short to be in a hole at the midway point.
