Ever Guzman has slotted right into the starting XI for Hartford Athletic. (USL Championship)
As Hartford Athletic began its rebuild this past offseason, one area of need was forward, especially as 2019’s leading scorers, Wojciech Wojcik (now Forward Madison) and Jose Angulo (now free agent), both departed.
One key signing arrived in January via Ever Guzman, a Liga MX and Ascenso MX veteran who’s the all-time leading scorer at fellow USL Championship side San Antonio FC.
Guzman, 32, was out of contract with San Antonio and drawn to the project new head coach Radhi Jaidi was building. He saw that Jaidi used to lead Southampton’s U-23 team, and wanted to learn from the ex-defender who twice represented Tunisia at the FIFA World Cup (2002, 2006).
