Brad Rusin a Presence at Rowdies

Rusin is chomping at the bit to continue his career in Florida after being released by Orlando City following the club’s promotion into Major League Soccer.

“Its great, from the beginning they stressed to me, the management group, that they want to win, he said. “Obviously every club wants to win, but some clubs don’t show that they want to win.”

The sturdy defensive back is excited by management’s active off-season to bolster the club’s roster, adding 19 new players, including veteran goalkeeper Kamil Contofalsky, a 2008 UEFA Cup champion and calming presence in the back end for the club.

“There’s quite a few leaders to be honest. A lot of guys with experience, some guys more than me. No matter what, I’m still going to be vocal back there.”

Having both domestic and international experience, playing overseas for HB Køge of the Danish 1st Division, Rusin’s ability and desire to galvanize his teammates for long-term success remains unchanged.

“Ultimately we are all leaders, and we need to put that on our ourselves,” he said.
