20 year old striker Rókus Bencsik was one of the first players added during the free agency period in advance of FC Whitehorse's inaugural year in the Canadian Soccer League. And after a disappointing start to his third season with the Freezers, Bencsik has been sold to Sao Miguel Football Club in his native Hungary for a $34,000 transfer fee.
Bencsik spent the better part of three seasons playing in Whitehorse, where he scored 16 goals in 75 league matches. After difficulty finding the net again last year, Bencsik fell out of favour with manager Raley Treffle, and was used in more of a reserve role this season. In his second match back in Hungary, Bencsik found his form scoring a hat trick as a part of SMFC's 7-0 drubbing of Orangeville Eagles FC.
To help with depth for the remainder of the season, FC Whitehorse added 32 year old Canadian midfielder Dennis Winchcombe for a contract that will see him until the end of the season. In 37 matches last year for Ontario Soccer Club, Winchcombe scored 4 goals and was given 13 yellow cards.
