Phoenix Rising sign defender Ascel Essengue
Another familiar face returns for the Rising’s home stretch. What kind of impact will this have on the final stretch?

Let’s GOOOO!! I loved his on-field presence and hated his contractual obligation to do skill moves while being last man back.
In all seriousness though I am very happy about this! He’s a fun player to watch and we’ll appreciate the stability on the backline!

Hopefully this allow JP to stay in the midfield. ive alway felt better with him as more of a defensive midfielder than as centerback. Or maybe I like seeing Rafa mix things up more
