Overview

• Lucas Herrington has signed a four-year deal with the Colorado Rapids for an undisclosed club-record fee and will remain at Brisbane Roar until joining the MLS side in January.
• Herrington progressed through the Roar academy from under-13s and made 17 A-League appearances last season before earning his transfer to Colorado.
• Colorado sporting director Fran Taylor praised Herrington’s size, athleticism and composure as qualities that fit the Rapids’ long-term defensive plans.
• Adelaide United striker Archie Goodwin secured his move to Charlotte FC after finishing last season with an equal competition-high 13 goals in 26 appearances.
• Charlotte FC general manager Zoran Krneta cited Goodwin’s box awareness, movement and finishing as key attributes that prompted the club to pursue the 20-year-old forward.
