James Jordan will be bringing versatility to the pitch for the men’s UNBC Timberwolves Soccer team.
The Richmond product is a central midfielder, but has experience in several positions.
“I feel I am a versatile and hardworking player. Midfield is my main position, but my coach plays me all over the field,” Jordan said.
“Wherever I am needed. If some player needs to be marked, if you need to score goals, I can go anywhere. I love the versatility of the game. You can do anything at any point.”
Jordan has been training with Fusion FC with coaches Shane Howard and Steve Miller, and he hopes his adaptability and hunger serves him well as he makes the jump to the highest level of university sport in the country.
The 17-year-old is the captain of his Fusion FC 2005 team, and was the program’s leading scorer at the U21 VMSL Cup.
“I am truly excited to welcome James to our program. I was really impressed with James during his visit to the school,” said Timberwolves Coach Steve Simonson.
“He is an absolute fit to what we are building towards at UNBC. He is a tenacious midfielder with an incredible work rate and willingness to play both in defence and in attack. I am excited to work with James and welcome him to the Timberwolves.”
