"I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome Trey to Winthrop and our men's soccer program," stated Parker. "Trey and I have worked side by side at Lincoln Memorial University, Appalachian FC, and Lander University, so there's a strong foundation of trust and shared vision already in place. He understands exactly how I want to build and develop a team, and his experience, work ethic, and eye for talent will be huge as we continue rebuilding this program the right way. Our players are going to benefit tremendously from his energy and game understanding."
