MLS Next Pro side Rochester New York will cease operations immediately after a statement from the league confirmed their decision. The side, part-owned by Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, only debuted in the new third division in 2022.
The choice was confirmed in a tweet, stating: "Rochester New York FC has reached the decision to cease operations and therefore will not participate in the 2023 MLS Next Pro season.
"We would like to thank the Rochester Community, their fans and ownership for their support of the club and MLS Next Pro." Rochester, previously Rochester Rhinos, had been one of the most successful sides in USL - the second tier of American football.
