"Niko has shown well and is starting to acclimatize nicely to our training and tactical demands," said Tommy Wheeldon Jr., Head Coach and General Manager, Cavalry FC. "He has shown some nice moments within the CPL and has promising potential to keep improving. We look forward to helping him grow as a player and person."
Cavalry FC defender Caden Rogozinski will return to Mount Royal University, as well as midfielder Max Piepgrass will return to Cape Breton University following the culmination of their 2024 CPL-U SPORTS contracts.
"Caden and Max provided us great depth in our squad this year and in return had the experience of training full-time within a professional environment. Both adapted very well to the professional standard and showed great ability and attitude during their time here. We will continue to monitor them within the U SPORTS environment this season."
The club will retain Piepgrass' U SPORTS rights for the 2025 Canadian Premier League (CPL) season. Cavalry will be able to sign him to a CPL-U SPORTS contract next season without the player needing to enter the 2025 CPL-U SPORTS draft.
