Personal:
Son of Ofer and Avivit… Has a brother, Shachar, and a sister, Tal… Grandfather Simcha played professional soccer in Israel for Beitar Netanya and Maccabi Netanya, and later managed Beitar Netanya. He was also on the Israel U-23 team… Chose Carolina because: Tony Annan and the rest of the coaching staff. Also the size of the school and historic background of it. The main reason was just stepping out of my comfort zone by leaving England. South Carolina was the place that intrigued me most… Chose Carolina over: Charlotte and Missouri State.
