With the second half of the 2014 NASL Season already underway, the Carolina RailHawks are reinforcing their offense with the signing of Spanish forward Nacho Novo.
“We are delighted to be able to add a player of Nacho’s caliber,” said RailHawks Head Coach Colin Clarke. “He is a natural goal scorer with many years of experience. He’s had a very successful career at the highest level and we are hoping that he will give us a big boost as we are fighting for a spot in The Championship.”
Novo, a forward with 16-years of professional experience, spent most of his playing career with Glasgow Rangers were he won three Scottish Premier League Championships, one Scottish Cup Championship and two Scottish League Cups during his seven years with the club.
The Spain native scored 47 goals over 179 appearances, including a goal that sent Rangers to the final of the 2008 UEFA Cup. Because of his contributions to the club, Nacho was inducted into the Rangers Hall of Fame earlier this year.
The veteran forward has also seen action in Spain’s La Liga with Sporting de Gijon, Polish top division Legia Warsaw, then Scottish Premier League side Dundee and most recently Football League One side Carlisle United.
