BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Birmingham Legion FC announced on Friday it had acquired midfielder Edwin Laszo via transfer from fellow USL Championship club FC Tulsa. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.

"We are happy to welcome a player of Edwin's caliber to Legion FC," said CEO and Chief Soccer Officer Jay Heaps. "With his size and physical presence in the midfield, we look forward to him having a positive impact on the field for us this season."

A native of Villarica, Colombia, Laszo has made seven appearances this season for FC Tulsa across all competitions, after scoring a pair of goals to go along with an assist in his 25 appearances with the club in 2024. In his time with FC Tulsa, the 26-year-old earned USL Championship Team of the Week four times and his long-range strike against San Antonio FC on August 3 of last year was nominated for Goal of the Year. He also led the club with 45 tackles in 2024.

Laszo first moved toward the professional ranks in 2017 as a youth prospect with Torino FC U-19 squad. Other stops throughout his career include Carabanchel in Spain in 2020, followed by stints with Colombia clubs Inter Palmira, Once Caldas and Metropolitanos FC in Ecuador from 2021-23. He then made the move to Europe with Bulgarian-side Beroe Stara Zagora in 2024 where he made 18 appearances before coming to the United States.
