PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC announced on Friday it had acquired goalkeeper Luis Zamudio on loan from D.C. United of Major League Soccer in a one-month agreement between the clubs. Zamudio will be available for selection when the Hounds visit Oakland Roots SC on Saturday night.

The 24-year-old signed with D.C. United this past offseason after playing the 2022 season in the USL Championship with Loudoun United FC. As Loudoun’s starter, Zamudio posted seven shutouts in 27 matches and was kept busy, making 105 saves while posting a save percentage of 66.5%.

“Luis is a talented young keeper who is good with his feet and a very good shot stopper,” said Hounds Head Coach Bob Lilley. “He will be a welcome addition during this difficult stretch of the schedule, and we look forward to working with him.

The addition of Zamudio coincides with the Hounds being without first-choice goalkeeper Jahmali Waite for the coming weeks while Waite joins the Jamaican National Team competing in the Concacaf Gold Cup beginning later this month. A Las Vegas native who has dual American and Mexican citizenship, Zamudio began his career with Club América Premier in the Mexican lower divisions before moving to USL League One with North Texas FC in 2020 and Fort Lauderdale CF in 2021.
