The club has yet to make any formal announcements but based on interviews the club has posted of players it is a safe bet to say Jimmy Turner and Brenton Griffiths have re-signed. It sounds like a good chunk of players from last season will also be returning. Despite last season's end results we have some solid players that I think just need some different tactics put in place. Hopefully Wyss can accomplish this.
Turner Confirmed by club: Jimmy Turner Returns For 2015 USL PRO Season IRVINE, CA (January 21, 2015) - Orange County Blues FC is excited to announce that defender James “Jimmy” Turner will be returning for the 2015 season. Turner made 22 appearances for Orange County in 2014, notching two assists. The left-back is ready to get started: “I am extremely fortunate and happy to return to the OC Blues for the upcoming 2015 USL PRO season. With a new head coach and some new players, we have our sights set on winning the Supporters’ Shield and advancing deep into the playoffs.” This will be Turner’s third year with the club, having originally joined the LA Blues ahead of the 2013 season. A Mission Viejo resident, Turner attended UC Irvine from 2008-2011, leading the Anteater Men’s Soccer team to a 50-20-7 record during his tenure, including 31 shutouts. He was named All-Big West Second team after his senior season. “I am very pleased that Jimmy is returning to OC Blues FC for the upcoming season. He’s a true professional on and off the field, and his commitment to the team and organization is simply first class,” said Head Coach Oliver Wyss.

How has he been training with OC, as he has been playing with the Rochester Lancers? http://www.pointstreak.com/prostats/playerpage.html?playerid=8051245
Not sure if he only came over for a week or something or but there is a picture on the Blues FB page from training last week and he was definitely in Irvine, Ca with the team.
Thanks. Any preseason matches from 18-20 Feb? I will be in the OC for a conference and was wondering.
Team hasn't been disclosing preseason matches and have been keeping them closed so far. We play Real Salt Lake on the 12th (found that on RSLs website) but I haven't heard anything else for later in the month.

Swiss reports have him signing in the next week or so. He is still under contract for Servette, but they are going to work with him.
Yes it is. I would expect some more to come. Just a guess, but your new coach has connections all over the country.
So buzz is that there is a player coming with EPL experience. Haven't gotten anymore info than that though
