“Kosta’s arrival at our program has been positive right from the get-go,” Simonson said. “Not only is he a highly effective and versatile player, he’s an incredible personality and a positive influence within the team on a social level. We are so excited to have him here and I know he’ll be a great addition.”

For Adzic, the decision to continue his soccer career at UNBC was influenced by both the academic opportunities available and the Timberwolves’ style of play.

He said his passion for soccer comes from the sport’s complexity and constant challenges.

“I love to compete, and in my mind, soccer is the perfect sport for that,” Adzic said. “Every match is different because so many variables come into play. Every player and every team has different strengths and weaknesses, which makes the game both strategic and unpredictable.”

After arriving in Prince George, Adzic said he was impressed by Simonson’s coaching philosophy and the team environment.

“What impressed me most about Coach Steve was learning more about his playing style,” he said. “I’m impressed by how fundamentally simple and well-organized the overall structure is, while still allowing for a great deal of fluidity, movement and tactical complexity within each role on the field.”

He also praised his new teammates, saying the welcoming atmosphere made the transition easy.

“Although I knew a couple of people on the team before coming up to Prince George, the rest of the group has been incredibly kind and welcoming,” Adzic said. “I felt like I became part of the team right away.”

Away from soccer, Adzic has competed in a variety of sports, including track and field, cross-country running, volleyball, basketball and ball hockey. He credits years of training under longtime track and field coach Larry Ryan with helping shape his athletic development.

Adzic and the Timberwolves will begin the 2026 Canada West men’s soccer season on September 4 when they host Thompson Rivers University in Prince George.
