Sunshine Coast FC has boosted its midfield with the signing of American import Drew Jeskey as Fire looks to continue building momentum for a late season push.
Jeskey made the move to Fire, having previously played for Gold Coast City earlier in the year and Brisbane Premier League outfit Mitchelton FC in 2015.
The 27-year-old Chicago native has also played abroad for Sporting Kristina in Finland’s third-tier league Kakkonen in 2014.
Jeskey credits Sunshine Coast FC head coach Sam Saif as the deciding factor in his choice to join the club, having played under Saif at Mitchelton FC.
“I wish I could have come in earlier in the season, Sam was a big part of my decision to come to the Coast,” he said.
“You just need to look at Sam’s teams; he brings out the best in his players and makes them work at 100 percent.”
Jeskey has been training with Sunshine Coast FC for the several weeks while awaiting visa clearance and has taken the time to get a feel for the team.
“Everyone has been very helping and welcoming, the past couple of games have been very good to watch and the team has been getting better each week,” Jeskey concluded.
