The Harrisburg Heat are pleased to announce the re-signing of veteran forward Joey Tavernese for another season. With over a decade of professional indoor soccer experience, Tavernese’s return to the Heat promises continued leadership and skill on the field. Per team and league policies, financial terms of the agreement are not disclosed.
Tavernese is an eleven-year veteran who has made a significant impact in the MASL. Over his career, he has played for multiple franchises, including the Rochester Lancers, Ontario Fury, Syracuse Silver Knights, Utica City FC, and the Florida Tropics, consistently proving himself as a reliable goal scorer. Tavernese’s achievements include earning second-team All-MASL honors in the 2017/2018 season and representing the United States internationally with the USA National Futsal Team. In 2016, he and Harrisburg Heat Head Coach Pat Healey were teammates on the U.S. National Futsal Team, strengthening the bond that now continues on the Heat’s roster.
Coach Healey expressed his enthusiasm for having Joey back, stating, “I am happy that Joey is able to join us for another season. He showed veteran leadership throughout last season. He works extremely hard and is a leader by example. He does a lot of little things that aren’t in the stats book but helps his team win games, and that is something I am always looking for in a player.”…
