HARTFORD, Conn. – Hartford Athletic announced on Wednesday it had re-signed defender Ash Apollon for the 2022 USL Championship season, making him the ninth player to return to the roster from the past campaign. The signing is pending league and federation approval.

“I am very excited to have re-signed with Hartford,” Apollon said. “Although I only spent a little over a month with the club at the end of last season, it was easy to see that something special is being built here. I am excited to work with Coach Watling once again and I cannot wait to get back out on the pitch with my teammates to help bring us back to the playoffs.”

Apollon was acquired by Hartford from San Diego 1904 FC via transfer just before the Championship’s roster freeze at the end of September. He played in six matches in the season’s final weeks picking up an assist and six key passes in just 423 minutes. He also was named to the USL Championship’s Team of the Week for Week 26 after two excellent performances in wins against Loudoun United FC.

Apollon has also made four appearances for the Haitian Men’s National Team, including two appearances during friendlies in the September international window. A former player for Sacramento Republic FC in the Championship, the 30-year-old has made 18 appearances in the league overall.

“In a very short amount of time, Ash showed us great quality at left back. I am very happy that he will be with us again next season,” said Athletic Head Coach Harry Watling. “Ash brings versatility, experience, and a presence in the locker room to our squad. He is someone we will count on to be a leader on and off the pitch.”
