Charlotte FC opened training camp Monday as they prepare for their fourth season as a Major League Soccer Club. Last season Charlotte made a playoff run but were knocked out in the first round of the MLS Cup. Charlotte also ranked at the bottom of the league in goal-scoring with a total of 47. During a press conference Monday, head coach Dean Smith said adding goal-scorers is a top priority in free agency.
"I still feel that we probably need another goal-maker and goal-grabber, somebody, you know, who can go and contribute double figures for, for both assists and goals," he said. "You know, a top quality, top quality player."
The team announced Monday that they’ve reacquired midfielder Pep Biel. Charlotte will take on North Carolina FC in a friendly match in Raleigh on Feb. 5 and then will head to California to play in the Coachella Valley Invitational.
