Cavalry FC Announces New Addition to the 2022 Roster

May 14, 2022 - Canadian Premier League (CPL)
Cavalry FC News Release


Calgary, AB - Cavalry FC has signed Calgary player Markus Kaiser (CAN) to a CPL-U SPORTS Development Contract for the 2022 season.

Kaiser came up through the Calgary Foothills Academy, where he won a U17 National Championship. He has been playing for the University of British Columbia since 2020, where he is enrolled as a Chemical and Biological Engineering student. After being drafted from the 2022 CPL-U SPORTS pre-season training draft, Kaiser's performance in training led to the offer of a developmental contract.

A U SPORTS Development Contract allows a student-athlete with U SPORTS eligibility to sign with a CPL Club while preserving their eligibility to return to U SPORTS competition after their contract ends.

Kaiser follows in the steps of his older brother, Daniel Kaiser, who was signed to a U SPORTS Development Contract with Cavalry FC in the 2021 season.

"I'm thrilled to be given this opportunity and to prove myself at the professional level. I have been in and out of Cavalry training ever since the franchise started a few years ago. I'm hoping to use this opportunity to fight for Cavalry as a homegrown player and continues progress as a footballer. - Markus Kaiser, on signing with Cavalry FC.

"Markus is a good addition to our squad. He's versatile and can provide depth in our full back and midfield positions. He is a player with a great engine to get around the pitch, very tidy in possession, and has a superb attitude." - Tommy Wheeldon Jr. (Head Coach & General Manager, Cavalry FC)
