He currently plays club soccer for Hammond-based GS Alliance, where he competes in the highly competitive, Chicago-based C.L.A.S.A. league. Since he did not play at the University of Indianapolis, he will still have two years of eligibility remaining to play with the Chargers. "Edward is a player who is going to turn some heads with his abilities," said Ancilla head coach James Drzewiecki. "His track record in the classroom is outstanding, and his creativity on the field is very, very good. We've had the chance to watch him in a couple scenarios - both in the C.L.A.S.A. league and at our latest showcase - and he proved in both settings he is a high-caliber striker. Our fans are going to find him very exciting to watch."
