ABOUT AVERY

Chattanooga Football Club is pleased to welcome Avery Engels back home. The former CFC Academy product went on to have a stellar career at powerhouse Lee University.

"I am very excited to play for CFC, especially since I grew up playing select soccer with this club," said Engels. "It feels like home to me so I am glad I get to represent this club again."

As a freshman at Lee, Engels appeared in 25 games, scoring 3 goals and 3 assists. She was named to the USC All-South Region Second Team and the GSC All Tournament Team in 2019.

In 2019, she appeared in 22 games and scored five goals. After the 2020 pandemic year, she went on to appear in 25 games in her final two seasons.

At Lee University, she was part of the 2018 DII Region Championship team, 2018 Final 4, 2019 All-Conference 1st team, 2019 All-Region, and 2021 GSC Conference Champs.

"Connecting with others in the community is a great mission to have," added Engels. "I love how CFC enables the players to build relationships with others who support our club and that live in Chattanooga."

Season tickets for the 2023 season Chattanooga FC Men’s team and Chattanooga FC Women’s team are on sale at ChattanoogaFC.com/tickets.
