C. New York has announced that their first USL Premier Development League affiliate will be the Lancaster Rattlers, based in Lancaster, California. Lancaster will act as a feeder club for F.C. New York.

"Gerry Brunner and the Rattlers have been great. They truly understand what we can achieve. We believe in the partnership and their area of geographic influence," said Doug Petersen, President of F.C. New York.

For players in the Southern California region, being with the Rattlers potentially brings them only a step away from the professional ranks of F.C. New York.
