PSC are proud to announce the placement of Chase Gozdieski to a USL Academy contract, pending league and federation approval.

Former City SC Chase Gozdieski attended PSC’s 2022 residential program after being recommended by Club Director Glenn Malone and impressing at a PSC Pro tryout. After working with our Residential Staff for a month in England we were able to accelerate Chase’s development whilst also showcasing and recommending him to professional clubs and academies.

After impressing on the program Gozdieski PSC was placed with USL Championship side Orange County SC on an academy contract, after recommendation from Residential Director Lee Holmes who worked with him for a month in England.

PSC continued Chase’s development journey when he signed an academy contract with CV Fuego after being placed by PSC Director Tom Taylor. Taylor also coached Gozdieski whilst at Fuego as the club won their division and went onto to compete at academy nationals.

PSC have now secured Chase’s third academy contract with Northern Colorado Hailstorm. Hailstorm Head Coach Eamoon Zayed and Assistant Head Coach Colin Falvey regularly attend PSC Pro Tryouts and reached out to PSC for U20 players who we believe have a future in the pro game.

PSC quickly recommended Chase, who Colin Falvey had seen live previously at a PSC tryout and the club offered the 17-year-old an academy contract which has now been signed. Chase becomes the first ever academy contract player at the club.

USL Academy contracts enable players to train and play in matches with Hailstorm while retaining college eligibility.

“This is a great day for the Academy to have our first ever player sign and get the opportunity to compete for a spot on the first team and potentially make their debut in the weeks and months to come,” Hailstorm academy director Kevin Ireland said.

PSC Director of Recruitment Simon Deeley Commented “We’re delighted for Chase, we first saw him as a 15-year-old who had a lot of potential but not ready to play first team football. Through our tryouts and residential program have been able to open doors for him to sign 3 academy contracts in 2 years. Chase is a great example for any younger players looking to attend our programs that professional pathways exist for u20 players who show potential but are not ready for the first team level.”

For players looking to sign academy contracts or first team contracts PSC have 7 new pro tryouts confirmed for the upcoming Winter where players can showcase live to professional coaches. Whether you are an older player looking to sign a first team contract or are a younger player looking for an academy contract PSC have professional pathways that cover all ages. We continue to consistently place players professionally from our tryouts over the past 15 years having placed over 600.
