KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - One Knoxville SC today announced the signing of League One veteran and 27-year-old midfielder Jimmie Villalobos, pending league and federation approval.
The former Chattanooga Red Wolves SC man played in 32 matches during the 2022 USL League One season. He was a key contributor for the Red Wolves as they made a run to the League One Final.
"The vision that One Knox SC has for this upcoming season has made me want to come to this beautiful city," Villalobos said. "I am excited to meet the fans and have seen how much support they bring to the team, creating an amazing playing atmosphere. I'm looking forward to experiencing it!”
“Jimmie was one of my favorite players to watch last season in League One," One Knox SC Head Coach Mark McKeever said. "He does not mind doing the dirty work off the ball for the team, and when he's on the ball, he has an amazing talent to simplify the game and bring others into the play. I'm excited to see Jimmie continue evolving as a player and represent One Knox SC to the fullest.”
