Tom Carlin
“We are very excited about adding Tomer to our 2022 roster. As a grad school transfer, Tomer brings a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as a high level of maturity and intensity. Tomer has a very high soccer IQ, reads the game well, and will help us keep the ball through all thirds of the field. He is a possession-oriented player with great vision and range of pass. He will be a great addition to an already strong central midfield unit.”
