FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (March 8, 2013) - The Fort Lauderdale Strikers have added depth to their attacking group in forward Stefan Dimitrov, who is on loan for the Spring season from the New York Cosmos.

"We're excited we were able to work out a deal with the Cosmos to bring in Stefan Dimitrov," said head coach Daryl Shore. "He's a player I've had some past experience with and he's a target forward who is good in the air and we're looking forward to him getting down here and playing for the Strikers."

Dimitrov, 28, is a native of Bulgaria who played for the Chicago Fire in 2009 while Strikers head coach Daryl Shore was an assistant coach with Chicago.
