St Louis City SC sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel believes that South African midfielder Njabulo Blom is the “missing puzzle piece” they needed.

Blom was signed for an undisclosed transfer fee after putting pen to paper on a two-year contract that runs through the end of the 2024 MLS regular season with two option years in 2025 and 2026.

The 23-year-old will now former part of South African Bradley Carnell’s squad as they continue to prepare for the MLS season.

“We are excited to bring a young South African national team player like Blom to our squad and St. Louis”, said Sporting Director Lutz Pfannenstiel.

“His ball-winning, super aggressive, warrior qualities as a central defensive midfielder match what we are looking for in our philosophy. Blom’s addition to our team is exactly the missing puzzle piece we needed.”
