[ ON SALE: 2016 season ticket packages ]
We’re less than two months away from the opening kick of FC Buffalo’s 2016 National Premier Soccer League season, which means you need to know a bit more about your 2016 Wolves.
We’ve still got plenty of player commitments to announce in the coming days and weeks, but we’ve posed some question to our first batch of commits in order to get to know them a bit better.
Last week we learned a bit about Bayley Winkel and Andres Vega, as well as Keith Traut and Ian McGrath. This week we’ve met Kieran Toland and Andrew Crawford, then Isaiah Barrett and Ross Suitor before connecting with goalkeepers Nick Jeffs and Steve Casey.
Today, we meet two of the youngest players to ever make FC Buffalo: soon-to-be Canisius midfielder Troy Brady and future Villanova back Frank Cotroneo.
After spending the last few seasons with the Empire United Development Academy, Frank has accepted a scholarship to Villanova and is headed to Pennsylvania in the Fall.
