Ryley Van Maanen added to Kodiaks soccer team
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge College Kodiaks men’s soccer team has added Coaldale local Ryley Van Maanen.
Van Maanen is a centre-forward who grew up playing in the Coaldale Thunder system, before spending last year with Lethbridge Football Club and the Vancouver Whitecaps ‘Caps 2 College Academy program.
Standing at 6’4”, Men’s soccer head coach Sean Carey says his height advantage will give the Kodiaks offense “additional flexibility”.
“Ryley is going to be one of the tallest guys in our whole league,” says Carey. “He’s obviously great in the air and with his footwork. He’s going to be a good target player for us if we want to change the system we want to play.”
