Another highly-sought after recruit has signed on with the men’s soccer team at UNBC.
Today (Monday), the Timberwolves bolstered its backline, officially announcing the commitment Matteo Cuzzetto.
“This is really exciting. This has always been a dream of mine, since I was younger, to play at a higher level. I am really looking forward to it and hoping it will be a good time.”
The Kamloops product plays his club soccer with the KYSA Blaze Select for coach Mark Bell, points to his visit as crucial in his decision to join the TWolves in the highest level of university soccer in the country.
“We are really excited to welcome Matteo to our program. Matteo is a very solid defender. During his visit to UNBC he was faced with the unenviable task of stopping Michael Henman but displayed he could already handle the physicality of one of the best strikers in the league. He has a major upside and I look forward to watching him grow into a strong Canada West defend,” said Steve Simonson, T-Wolves head coach.
The six-footer players his high school soccer with St. Anne’s Academy, where has served as team captain for the 2021 and 2022 ‘A’ Okanagan Champions.
With a 4.0 GPA and Principal’s List standing, Cuzzetto will graduate from St. Anne’s in June, and enroll in UNBC’s Bachelor of Science program, focusing on Wildlife & Fisheries.
He will join his new Timberwolves teammates for training in Prince George in July.
