WINDSOR, Colo. — Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC today announced that midfielder Marky Hernández has been re-signed for 2024, pending league and federation approval.

Hernández was the Hailstorm's second-leading goal scorer in 2023 with nine goals across all competitions, including goals in Northern Colorado's 3-1 win over Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in the U.S. Open Cup and the club's 3-1 loss to North Carolina FC in the USL League One Playoffs Semifinals. He also added four assists on the season.

"In 2023 he was really good for us," Hailstorm Head Coach Éamon Zayed said. "He added more consistency in terms of being injury-free as well as goals and assists."

Hernández was also with Hailstorm in 2022, scoring twice and contributing three assists in 23 USL League One matches. With a dozen appearances in 2024, he will become the Hailstorm's all-time leader in that category.

"I'm excited to come back and finish our unfinished business," Hernández said. "Our only goal in mind is to take the championship."
