Greenville, SC – Greenville Triumph SC has signed Dutch forward Marios Lomis for 2021, the club announced on Friday pending league and federation approval.
The Bennebroek, Netherlands native comes to the Triumph from USL Championship side North Carolina FC, where he spent the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Lomis played a combined 1,722 minutes across his two seasons with NCFC, making 34 career appearances with 20 starts and 11 goals (5, 2018; 6, 2019). In 2019, Lomis was named NCFC’s Comeback Player of the Year after suffering a broken ankle in late May and returning to the pitch five months later (October 12 vs. Nashville SC).
The forward returned to NCFC in August of 2020 where he played 17 matches after starting the 2020 season with El Paso Locomotive.
Lomis played one season of college soccer with the Creighton University Bluejays prior to signing with NCFC. Before making his move to the United States, the Dutch forward spent four seasons with VV Noordwijk in the Hoofdklassein — the fifth division of Dutch soccer. He tallied 13 goals for the club during the 2016-2017 season.
“Marios is a talented, proven striker that has significant experience in the USL Championship. Acquiring a natural goal scorer like Marios fits nicely with our talented, competitive group. We are excited to see him in a GTSC kit in 2021,” said Triumph head coach, John Harkes.
Lomis joins a group of 14 returning players for the Triumph following the club’s season-end roster decisions as well as former Forward Madison attacker and seasoned professional, Don Smart.
The 2020 League One Champions will return to action beginning on March 20 to kick off their four-match preseason tour featuring all upper-division opponents. For more information on the Triumph’s preseason schedule, click here.
