He has the ability to put defenders on alert with his pace and attacking ability. We expect Marcus to be a featured player and look forward to seeing his development.

Aaron Madison | Forward | Statesville, N.C. | Career Academy & Technical School (Belmont Abbey College)  

Before Bryant: Four-year letter winner at Career Academy & Technical School... Named to the All-Region team... Played for the Lake Norman Soccer Club in 2016 & 2017... Started all four years at Belmont Abbey College... Recorded four goals and three assists in his time with the Crusaders.

Purcell on Madison: Aaron is a strong and physical player who can handle himself in adverse situations. His strengths are attacking the defensive line on the dribble, winning aerial battles, and creating scoring opportunities in and around the goal. He will be a great addition to our attacking depth.

Lucas Gesmundo | Midfielder | Warwick, R.I. | Bishop Hendricken High School (URI)  

Before Bryant: Four-year varsity starter for the Hawks... Finished his career with 23 goals and 15 assists... Played for the Bruno United club team from 2013-2017... Led his team to a State Cup Championship in 2016 & 2017... Member of the National Honor Society.

Purcell on Gesmundo: Lucas will be a great addition to our program. He has very good soccer intelligence and will be able to problem-solve and navigate plays under pressure situations. Lucas brings experience at a high level and will feature as one of our defensive players this year. He is very fit and mobile getting up and down the wings, which will add to our attack as counter-pressing in the midfield.

Harry Kanda | Defense | Birmingham, West Midlands | University of Birmingham  

Before Bryant: Two-Year varsity starter... Scored five goals in 21 games played... Three-time Man of the Match award winner... Named the outstanding sportsman... Played for the Guru Nanak FC Gravesend club team from 2015-2021... Helped his team win the Kent County Division.

Purcell on Kanda: Harry comes to us from England as an exchange student and will add depth to our midfield and attack depth. He's a very technically sound player and can read the game well. It will take some adapting to the American collegiate game but we expect Harry to settle in and play with confidence as the team pushes for an NEC Championship.
