Congratulations to Charleston Battery midfielder Maikel Chang who was named the USL Player of the Week for his goal and assist performance in the 3-2 win over RBNY II.
Here's your top XI for week 18 with @Chas_Battery's Maikel Chang taking Player of the Week https://t.co/Q55Z96IfC9https://t.co/9sTDLA1YHb
— USL (@USL) July 26, 2016
Chang is joined by left back Obi Woodbine in this week's Team of the Week.
The Battery are now fourth in the Eastern conference standings after their road victory over the second place Red Bulls.
Chang has been impressive all season for the club. With Atlanta United now affiliating with the Battery, there's a strong chance that a few of these players could get brought to MLS next season. United are allowed to add three Battery players to their USL priority list. Chang has to be considered one of the favorites to be on this list. He has shown great technical skills this season and the ability to be a playmaker from his wing position.
While there's still a long time between now and 2017, don't be surprised if you hear a lot more of Maikel Chang's name soon.
