WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- FC Cincinnati have transferred Swiss midfielder Leonardo Bertone to FC Thun of the Swiss Super League, the club announced on Monday.
Bertone, 25, joined Cincinnati ahead of their inaugural season, making 25 appearances. He scored the club's first MLS goal, a memorable strike from distance in the club's inaugural match.
"We want to thank Leonardo for all he did for this club on the pitch and in the community as an FC Cincinnati player," general manager Gerard Nijkamp said. "We felt this move was beneficial for both sides. We wish Leonardo all the best in the next chapter of his career."
After a disappointing inaugural campaign, Cincinnati are aiming for improvements in 2020.
