North Carolina Adds Brazilian Forward Renan Gorne On Loan

North Carolina FC has added another dangerous attacking option to its roster for the 2017 NASL Fall Season with the addition of Renan Gorne after coming to terms on a loan agreement with Brazilian Série A side Botafogo. Per club policy, further details on the acquisition were not released.
 
“We had an opportunity to get a very good striker," North Carolina coach Colin Clarke said. "He’s young with good experience. He played in the top league in Brazil and had a very successful career scoring goals. He’s someone that wanted to be here and experience our league and culture and we feel that he will come in and score a lot of goals for us this second part of the season.”
 
The 21-year old forward was a star for Botafogo’s U-20 side last season. He netted 31 goals with the U-20 team and earned a call up to the senior team where he made one appearance. The talented goalscorer will join a growing attacking unit, which will be in search of more goals during North Carolina FC’s Fall Season.
 
“I’m really happy to be a part of North Carolina FC," Gorne said. "It’s a pleasure to wear this jersey. We have a great chance here to reach the playoffs. I can’t wait to get on the field and help the team earn results.”
