Coach Page says, 鈥淲e are really excited to have landed three of the top prospects in Nova Scotia. Mohammed Jabar, Cohen Reddick-Stevens, and Josh MacKillop are great attacking players that will add firepower to our lineup.

Jaber is involved with youth development and has coached Scotia Soccer Club youth teams for the past two years, and coached at the U12 Provincial ID Camp last summer.

Jaber says, 鈥淚 was very fortunate to have interest from many different universities but I am very happy with my decision to choose 秀色短视频. I chose 秀色短视频 for its great academic offering and strong soccer program. I also get to train with Coach Page, one of the best coaches in Canada. I am very excited to play with some of the country鈥檚 best soccer players and to represent the Panthers this coming fall.鈥

Reddick-Stevens attends Auburn High School in Cole Harbour. An honours student, Reddick-Stevens was team captain, one of the Metro League鈥檚 top scorers, and was selected as an all-star.

Reddick-Stevens has represented Nova Scotia at numerous Atlantic Canada championships and has been on four championship teams.

Reddick-Stevens is eager about the opportunity of joining the 秀色短视频 family. 鈥淚 am excited about having the opportunity to come to a great school and to play for Coach Page. I look forward to becoming a Panther and contributing to a successful season next year.鈥

MacKillop is a Cape Bretoner who attends Riverview High School in Coxheath. MacKillop was also captain of his school team and was selected as a first-team all-star in 2013 and 2014.

He also served as assistant coach with Soccer NS鈥 Cape Breton Regional Training Centre.

MacKillop comments, 鈥淚t was tough choosing a university, but at the end of the day, I chose 秀色短视频 because academically I feel that it is a better fit for me鈥攐ffering small classes and a close knit community鈥攋ust like home.
