"It has done so much for me and that is why I'm so passionate for this sport".

Cole chose UNB Saint John because it has the programs that will help him be successful in his career.

His family is his biggest support system so being close to them will allow him to really thrive academically and athletically.

He is eager to increase his ability when his steps on the pitch as part of the Seawolves family. Cole looks forward to the challenge of playing against other university caliber athletes and learning from the vets and coaches on the team. One of Cole's biggest supporters and role models is his father who has been with him every step of the way for his soccer career. "He has done a lot for me and supported all of my choices, he's helped me fund my soccer and he never gives up when things are tough. He knows that in the end that everything will get better and be better".

Head Coach Dave Vicente first noticed Cole when he played for Fundy Soccer and Canada Games. The first thing he took note of was Cole's speed and his ball handling abilities. "Cole's speed to the back line and versatility to play multiple positions will add to the team greatly". Coach Vicente looks forward to working with Cole and seeing how he meshes with the team, he also looks forward to seeing what Cole can do to help the team.
