The Hammerheads announce the signing of two midfielders-- Bryce Taylor & Hagop Chirishian. Towards the end of the press release Manny Guzman is listed as an "former Hammerhead," so it's safe to believe he's not coming back http://wilmingtonhammerheads.com/home/601197.html The 2012 team so far-- Coming Back Jack Avesyan Mark Briggs Andres Cuero Gareth Evans Paul Nicholson Tom Parratt Dylan Riley Joining for 2012 Hagop Chirishian Alex Horwath Tyler Lassiter Bryce Taylor Unknown Chris Banks Diego Barrera Ivan Becerra Andriy Budnyy Devon Carroll Brock Duckworth Richard Jata Chris Murray Jyler Noviello Kyle Polak Chris Spendlove Matt Williams Tanner Wolfe Doubtful Alex Grendi Gone Manny Guzman Luke Mulholland
From Facebook and Twitter postings, it looks like Richard Jata may not be back and Brock Duckworth is looking at other options (some possibly NASL or overseas.) A shame-- I would have loved to have both of them back.

Devan Carroll has been training with Myrtle Beach FC. It will be good to see what he can do now that he can get a little playing time. http://mysoccerusa.com/7-blogs/24-game-time.html The 2012 team so far-- Coming Back Jack Avesyan Mark Briggs Andres Cuero Gareth Evans Paul Nicholson Tom Parratt Dylan Riley Joining for 2012 Hagop Chirishian Alex Horwath Tyler Lassiter Bryce Taylor Unknown Chris Banks Diego Barrera Ivan Becerra Andriy Budnyy Chris Murray Jyler Noviello Kyle Polak Chris Spendlove Matt Williams Tanner Wolfe Doubtful Devon Carroll Brock Duckworth Alex Grendi Gone Manny Guzman Luke Mulholland Richard Jata
In a recent article, Manny Guzman was listed as a "former Hammerhead." As of today, he is listed as a current Hammerhead. Welcome back, Manny! http://www.wilmingtonhammerheads.com/home/606840.html Alex Grendi has another gig and Brock Duckworth was in Wilmington but may be listening to other offers. Still waiting for announcements on at least three more signings mentioned at the Port City Firm meeting.

The Hammerheads welcome ex-Notre Dame forward Steven Perry to Legion Stadium. http://uslpro.uslsoccer.com/home/608542.html The 2012 team so far-- Coming Back Jack Avesyan Mark Briggs Andres Cuero Gareth Evans Manny Guzman Paul Nicholson Tom Parratt Dylan Riley Joining for 2012 Hagop Chirishian Alex Horwath Tyler Lassiter Steven Perry Bryce Taylor Unknown Chris Banks Diego Barrera Ivan Becerra Andriy Budnyy Brock Duckworth Chris Murray Jyler Noviello Kyle Polak Chris Spendlove Matt Williams Tanner Wolfe Doubtful Gone Devan Carroll Alex Grendi Luke Mulholland Richard Jata
Andriy Budnyy was listed with a goal in last nights friendly with Campbell University and Kyle Polak tweeted about the Raleigh trip, so I guess they are both coming back. Also mentioned was "trialist" Steven Beattie with a goal. I'm guessing this is the Steven Beattie late of the Puerto Rico Islanders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Beattie The 2012 team so far-- Coming Back Jack Avesyan Mark Briggs Andriy Budnyy Andres Cuero Gareth Evans Manny Guzman Paul Nicholson Tom Parratt Kyle Polak Dylan Riley Joining for 2012 Hagop Chirishian Alex Horwath Tyler Lassiter Steven Perry Bryce Taylor Unknown Chris Banks Diego Barrera Steven Beattie Ivan Becerra Brock Duckworth Chris Murray Jyler Noviello Chris Spendlove Matt Williams Tanner Wolfe Doubtful Gone Devan Carroll Alex Grendi Luke Mulholland Richard Jata

4/22/12- From the opening day roster. I've added Chukwudi Chijindu(late of LA Blues and Chivas,), Frank Wiafe Danquah and a few others. Chris Spendlove is not listed, but his jersey is prominently displayed on the Hammerheads site. Maybe coming back?
Corey Hertzog's loan from the New York Red Bulls to the Wilmington Hammerheads will last through the remainder of the season. Hertzog, in his second year out of Penn State University, has excelled for the USL Pro side, accounting for four goals and two assists in seven games. His original loan was only for a month, but with him faring well for the club while getting competitive minutes he would not be getting in New York, the two sides agreed to extend for the long haul.
