According to sources, Charlotte FC Head Coach Dean Smith's son, Jamie Smith (27), is finalizing a deal to play for Crown Legacy FC. The center-back played for the Greenville Triumph the past three seasons earning 65 appearances during that time, scoring six goals as a defender.

Before signing a contract with the Triumph, Jamie Smith played in college for NC State where he had 43 starts across three seasons. He also played at Limestone University and Asheville City SC. Smith will provide veteran leadership to a young core group of players at Crown Legacy.

Crown Legacy won their first playoff game in club history in 2024. It will aim for more success this year under new Head Coach Gary Dicker who is taking over the position after building a strong player development resume during his time with Brighton & Hove Albion.
