The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC announced today that the club has acquired Triston Hodge on a permanent transfer from W Connection F.C., pending league and federation approval and receipt of his P1 visa. Terms of the transfer were not disclosed.
"I couldn't be more thankful and excited to be a part of the Colorado Springs Switchbacks organization this upcoming season," said Hodge. "I look forward to making unforgettable memories in a thrilling stadium in front of the beautiful fans."
Hodge got his start with W Connection F.C., now a six-time champion of the TT Pro League, the top league in Trinidad & Tobago. He is experienced in the USL Championship as well, recording 3 appearances with Toronto FC II (2016) and 20 appearances with Memphis 901 FC (2019/2020).
