Tormenta Transfers Mason Tunbridge to Miami FC
He's the fifth USL1 player to move up so far this off-season
South Georgia Tormenta announced the transfer of midfielder Mason Tunbridge to Miami FC of USL Championship today.
While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, it’s believed to have been a fee transfer, as Tormenta held an option on Tunbridge for 2026.
The 24 year old had a breakout season in 2025, racking up 13 goals and seven assists across competitions, including nine goals in the regular season and one in the playoffs. He joined the club ahead of the 2024 season, signing a two-year deal with an option year as his first professional contract.
Tunbridge joins 2025 teammate Makel Rasheed in USL Championship, as the defender signed with Indy Eleven earlier this week. There have been five USL League One players announced for USL Championship teams so far this off-season.
Earlier today, Tormenta announced the signing of USL League One two-time Goalkeeper of the Year, Sean Lewis. With Niall Reid-Stephen the only player known to be under contract, we’re still waiting on returning player announcements from the club.
At Miami, Tunbridge will join former Tormenta defender Dalton Knutson, who departed the club just before Tunbridge joined.
