LMU Soccer Adds Player From Serbia & Montenegro

HARROGATE, TN – Men’s Soccer Coach Helio D’Anna announced today that Svetozar Gladic from Serbia and Montenegro will begin his career at Lincoln Memorial University this Fall.

A 6’0 midfielder, Gladic has played at the highest level in his home country, including the following clubs: FK Vojvodina, FK Ajax, FK Index, and FK Sajkas. While competing in club, Gladic accumulated many honors, including best player of junior league and best league striker with 21 goals.

The son of Rajko and Nadezda Gladic, Svetozar will be receiving an academic scholarship while pursuing an undeclared major.  “Svetozar is truly an impact player and an exciting signee,” stated Coach D’Anna.  “Svetozar is fast and quick, as well as physically strong player.  More importantly, his skills are among the highest level and he will open a lot of eyes when he starts pre-season.”  

Gladic will be the second player hailing from Serbia & Montenegro, following in the footsteps of former Railsplitter Marko Skuletic.  Skuletic was a standout defender and a team captain while with the Railsplitters.  He graduated with honors this past fall.
