“Joe has shown over his past two seasons in Sweden’s top-flight what he has to offer and we’re delighted to bring him aboard,” said Las Vegas Sporting Director Gianleonardo Neglia. “His experience and on-field quality will be a valuable asset for our squad throughout the upcoming campaign.”

Wormell arrives in Las Vegas from FC Tulsa, where he made 41 appearances across the past three seasons in the USL Championship.
