The Miami FC unveiled a familiar face to longtime fans as its first new signing of the offseason on Wednesday as it announced the return of defender Sean McFarlane, pending league and federation approval. The 27-year-old has signed a multi-year deal with Miami FC. “Most importantly Sean knows the level of expectations at Miami FC and has proven he has the mentality to be able to flourish in our environment,” said Miami Technical Director and Head Coach Paul Dalglish. “Furthermore, he is the ideal player profile for our system and has proven himself as one of, if not the best attacking right back in the USL with 14 assists and five goals in the last two years. I am really excited to be able to welcome Sean back to the team that is in his heart.” Born in Kingston, Jamaica, McFarlane spent the past two seasons with fellow Championship club Austin Bold FC where he made 51 appearances across the league and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. In 2020, McFarlane recorded five goals and 14 assists in the Championship, helping Austin reach the Championship Playoffs in the 2019 season. Prior to joining Austin, McFarlane had a terrific 2018 season with Miami FC, playing a crucial part in the club’s National Premier Soccer League title run. In 17 appearances, he scored three goals. McFarlane joined Miami after a successful 2017 season which saw him score two goals and record two assists in 29 league matches with the Championship’s Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. McFarlane has earned 15 appearances with different age levels of the Jamaican youth national team, while also being a member of the senior national team that made a historic run to the Final of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
