The newest Timberwolf also said he was impressed by Simonson’s approach to coaching.

Simonson believes Hirsch’s versatility, work ethic and competitive nature will make him a valuable addition to the program.

“Luis is a tenacious defensive midfielder with a really strong engine and high compete level,” Simonson said. “He’s making great strides adjusting to our system of play and we think he’ll be a strong player for us.”

Simonson added that Hirsch has already made a positive impression within the squad.

“He’s also an incredibly likeable person who fits in with the chemistry of the group, having a positive impact both on and off the field.”
