INDIANAPOLIS – Indy Eleven announced on Wednesday it had signed goalkeeper Tim Trilk ahead of the 2022 USL Championship season. Per club policy, terms of the contract will not be released, and the signing is pending league and federation approval.

“I am beyond excited to join Indy Eleven and to be a part of its rich tradition and success,” said Trilk. “I look forward to pushing myself and my teammates on and off the field this season to bring Indiana another great year of Indy Eleven football.”

A native of Rockford, Ill., Trilk spent the past two seasons with USL League One club Chattanooga Red Wolves SC and served as the squad’s first-choice goalkeeper across its 2021 campaign. Last season, Trilk made 21 total appearances, including two playoff games, while finishing tied for sixth across USL1 with five shutouts. The 23-year-old recorded 41 saves and posted a goals-against average of 0.97 for the Red Wolves.

“Tim has showed well during the early portion of the preseason and has absolutely earned his spot on the roster,” said Indy Head Coach Mark Lowry. “We look forward to his contributions throughout the season.”

Prior to turning pro, Trilk spent four years playing for Western Illinois University in Macomb, Ill. He was the primary starter in goal for the Leathernecks for three seasons and earned All-Summit League First Team selection after his senior season in 2019, during which he finished in the top 10 of NCAA Division I in saves. Trilk also made eight appearances for USL League Two side Tri-Cities Otters across the summers of 2018-19.
