JJ Williams is chasing a European dream, as Rhode Island FC agrees to a club-record transfer fee to send its all-time leading scorer to Hearts — a landmark move for the Championship and a massive moment for a young club. We break down what Williams leaves behind, what the jump to the Scottish Premiership could look like, and what it signals about USL clubs increasingly moving talent onto the global stage.
Plus, New Mexico United’s undefeated run finally comes to an end, Cal Jennings delivers a late equalizer in a tense NorCal showdown, and Rubio Rubín puts on a clinic with a hat trick as El Paso keeps rolling. All that, and plenty more from another packed week across the USL Championship.
