New signing Michael Kozielek gives ACE plenty of options
ACE appear to have four players in one with the signing of Michael Kozielek (pictured).
The 23 year old arrived at Wolter Park in March having played semi-professional football in Sweden.
After several weeks waiting for international clearance, he debuted against Centenary Stormers two weeks ago.
“Lately I’ve been in holding midfield and adventuring up to the (number) 10 (position),” said Kozielek.
But he can also play left back and was in central defence as ACE kept a clean sheet in the 1-0 win at Taringa on Sunday. “I was covering for Deccy (Declan Morris) who had the red card,” said Kozielek, originally from Chicago.
“I didn’t do to bad. I’m fortunate to have played in a few positions at pretty high level. It’s nice to be comfortable in a number of positions.”
Alongside Kozielek in central defence at Taringa was Sean Lewis, also from Chicago, who played a key role in his move.
Kozielek “grew up” in the Chicago Fire Academy, went to Butler University and then joined Nordvarmlands
