Phoenix Rising FC announced today the club has loaned midfielder Jamison Ping to the MLS NEXT Pro side at Connecticut United FC for the remainder of the 2026 season, pending league and federation approval.
Jamison Ping has been an important part of the Phoenix Rising organization, representing the pathway from the club’s Youth Academy to the first team. After joining the academy in 2020 at just 12 years old, Ping continued his development and signed an academy contract with Rising in July 2024.
“I’m happy for him and excited about this next opportunity. At this stage of a young player’s career, getting consistent minutes and meaningful experience is important for development. I’m hopeful this move will give him the opportunity to continue growing and he can help them make a run in the playoffs,” Brandon McCarthy said.
