TULSA, Okla. – FC Tulsa announced on Tuesday the club had signed defender Chase Bromstedt ahead of the 2023 USL Championship season. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.

“Chase has a lot of qualities we look for in an outside back,” said FC Tulsa Head Coach Blair Gavin. “He is very comfortable on the ball, allowing him to break opponents’ press and he also likes to press himself and play on the front foot. We look forward to having him in the team to help build our style of play.”

Bromstedt joins FC Tulsa following one season with fellow USL Championship club Las Vegas Lights FC in 2022. The Parkville, Missouri native appeared 15 times for Las Vegas a season ago across all competitions and registered the first professional assist of his career against Monterey Bay F.C. on September 27.

Before his first pro season, Bromstedt was a five-year starter at the University of Tulsa where he built a strong collegiate career less than four miles from ONEOK Field. The wingback started 65 of his 75 appearances for the Hurricanes, recording nine goals and 13 assists, and was recognized as a two-time United Soccer Coaches All-East Region Second Team award winner

The 24-year-old also received American Athletic Conference All-Conference First Team honors in 2021 and Second Team honors in 2020.

“I'm very excited to sign with FC Tulsa and to come back to a city where I spent four years playing college soccer – a city which I have learned to love and the people in it,” said Bromstedt. “I'm excited to learn from Coach Gavin who has a lot of experience and a lot of passion for this game.”
