A new centre back will be dawning the green and gold this fall.
UNBC Timberwolves Men’s Soccer head coach Steve Simonson announced today (Wednesday) Jayden Lidder (Richmond, B.C.) committed to the program.
Lidder is set to join the TWolves after completing his final season of high school soccer with Steveston London Secondary School and head coach Ryan Vervegart.
At the club level, Lidder is a product of Fusion FC which is led by Steve Millar. Over the course of his senior season, Lidder nabbed five goals along with three assists. He’s earned Athlete of the Year honours in each of the past five seasons at Steveston London.
“My distribution out of the back is one of my biggest strengths,” claimed Lidder who also makes his presence known by playing long balls, tackling, and playing with the ball at his feet.
Academically, Lidder is an honour roll student and plans to study Biology at UNBC come the fall.
“Jayden is a strong central defender with a good game sense and mature presence on the field,” reflected Simonson. “During his visit to UNBC he instantly fit with the group and showed he is a great fit for our program. We are looking forward to having him join the team full-time in the fall.”
