Men's soccer ink former OUA champion and Division 1 left back Colin Gander as their newest addition to the 2023 squad

TORONTO - The Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) Bold men's soccer team is pleased to announce transfer Colin Gander as the third member of their recruiting class ahead of the 2023-24 season. 

Gander, a native of Kitchener, Ont., joins the Bold family after spending the past three years as a member of the Guelph Gryphons, where he captured an elusive OUA title in 2021. The following year, Colin was selected 11th overall by the Halifax Wanderers in the CPL draft and was named an OUA West First-Team All-Star. Prior to his time in the OUA, Gander suited up for the Division I program Missouri State University.

Gander will be pursuing an MBA at the Ted Rogers School of Management this fall.

TMU became an easy choice for Gander, offering a highly regarded MBA program as well as a Bold team which Gander feels gives him a great opportunity to capture another OUA title and U SPORTS championship. Gander shares a prior connection with fellow Bold teammates Kai Martin and Zakaria Abdi who he played with at the Toronto FC Academy, as well as fellow transfer Chris Campoli with the Halifax Wanderers. On the field, Colin describes himself as hard-working, dedicated, and ambitious. 

"Colin is a proven winner and I expect him to make an immediate impact on our team both on and off the field," said Bold head coach, Filip Prostran. "Colin's work rate, soccer IQ, and leadership are traits every coach looks for when recruiting incoming athletes."

Gander will kick off his blue and gold career later this fall and stands as the third addition to the Bold's roster.
