TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One today announced the Team of the Week for Week 21/22 of the 2025 regular season, with Charlotte Independence midfielder Jon Bakero named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball with four assists through two matches.

The 2017 MAC Hermann Trophy winner started his week with one assist in a 2-2 draw in Knoxville on Wednesday before providing a trio of assists in Charlotte's 3-3 draw against Texoma on Saturday. Matching an all-time league record, Bakero's three-assist outburst on Saturday marked the sixth such occurrence in League One history and the first since July 2023. 

"It's been good," Bakero said after his three-assist performance against Texoma. "I've been really finding my feet and I'm feeling really comfortable in the system that we're playing, and the confidence the coach has given me feels good. I'm happy to help the team with assists, with whatever I can, but it doesn't really matter if we can't get the win. I think that's really the frustrating part tonight."
