On February 3, the Quakes announced the return of their reserve team, which will begin play in the new MLS Next Pro league. The new second tier unit, which will play in the Pacific Division, will not only include MLS clubs and reserve clubs that were previously in the USL but also invited independent clubs with no affiliation. Those include Rochester NY FC and Tacoma Defiance (Seattle Sounders)/Real Monarchs (Real Salt Lake)/Sporting KC 2 (Sporting KC)/North Texas SC (FC Dallas)/Fort Lauderdale CF (rebranded as Inter Miam II) (Inter Miami) from the USL Championship/League One.
Of note: LA Galaxy 2 (Los Dos) will remain in the USL Championship for 2022. LAFC will field their Next Pro reserve unit in 2023.
Per the Quakes: “The roster will be comprised of young first team players, amateur Quakes Academy players, and players signed directly to second team contracts.” Like the old reserves from 2005, and 2008-2012 expect some players to get needed time with the club.
