Sloan and his team mates took the APSL's inaugural championship.[10][11][12] In October 1991, he returned to the indoor game, this time with the Baltimore Blast of the Major Soccer League.[13] On February 25, 1992, Sloan signed with the Tampa Bay Rowdies.[14][15] In October 1992, he rejoined the Dayton Dynamo, now playing in the National Professional Soccer League.[16] Sloan played two seasons with the Dynamo. In September 1994, the Dynamo traded Sloan and Joe Mallia to the Baltimore Spirit in exchange for Rob Ukrop and Clark Brisson. In 1995, he played for the Delaware Wizards of the USISL. In 1996, he played a single season with the Carolina Dynamo.[17] In September 1996, Sloan signed with the Sacramento Knights late in the Continental Indoor Soccer League season as the team struggled with injuries.
