(Southfield, Mich., October 24, 2008) - The Detroit Ignition have agreed to terms with forward Mike Apple and midfielders Miodrag Djerisilo and Ryan Mack, the club announced today. Per club policy, financial terms of the agreements were not disclosed.
Mack was the Ignition's third-leading scorer in the 2007-08 Major Indoor Soccer League regular season, tallying 66 points in 28 games. During the playoffs, he scored three goals for Detroit - a number which ranked him first on the team in post-season scoring. The Birmingham, Michigan native was named Big Ten Conference Player of the Year in 2000 while playing collegiate soccer at Indiana University.
Apple enters his eighth professional indoor soccer season this year, after spending the off-season representing the United States at the FIFA Futsal World Cup. He tallied 33 points with 13 two-point goals and 7 assists during the 2007-08 season for the Ignition, and netted a pair of goals in the 2008 playoffs. Apple, a three-year Ignition veteran, hails from Akron, Ohio.
Djerisilo, an original member of the 2006-07 Ignition squad, spent last season in Orlando where he led the Sharks in scoring with 48 points. A native of Belgrade, Serbia, he began his professional indoor career in 2002 with the Kansas City Comets. Prior to coming to the United States, Djerisilo played for the Italian club Pescara of Serie B.
