"It is rare that you come across a young player that has such a wealth of experience. Alen plays with a calm and grace not often seen in young defenders. He reads the game well and his distribution is excellent. Alen was very high on my wish list when I took over as Head Coach and Technical Director. We knew that he was garnering attention from MISL clubs, so we were patient, but I am happy that in the end we were able to sign him. He fits perfectly into the young, exciting nucleus of defenders we have this season," Head Coach Doug Montroy said of Bradaric.
