The Swope Park Rangers have loaned defender Jacob VanCompernolle to fellow USL Western Conference side OKC Energy FC, the club announced today. VanCompernolle will remain with the Energy until the conclusion of the 2016 USL season. Under the terms of the loan, he will be ineligible to play against the Rangers.
The 22-year-old returns to OKC after spending his rookie year in 2015 with the club. VanCompernolle joined SPR in early 2016, making nine appearances, including eight starts and logging 650 minutes.
The Dallas, Texas native started in the Rangers’ opening two victories against Portland Timbers 2 on March 26 and Tulsa Roughnecks FC on April 2 – where his performance earned him a spot on the USL Team of the Week for Week 2.
The Swope Park Rangers are back in action on Saturday, July 2 when they host cross-state rivals Saint Louis FC at Swope Soccer Village. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. CT and a live stream will be available on SportingKC.com, while tickets are available here.
