Siena Men's Soccer announced the signing of midfielder Ivan Struk, a London‑born talent, to its 2026 roster, a move confirmed by head coach Graciano Brito.
Struk spent the 2025‑26 campaign with Sunderland AFC U18, appearing in 12 matches and logging 702 minutes while contributing two goals and an assist.
His development was further shaped by a youth stint with London Elite, where he helped the side win the JPL Cup, and by earning caps for the Latvia U19 national team.
The Saints’ athletic department highlighted the historic 2025 season that saw the program claim its first conference championship and earn an NCAA Tournament berth, setting the stage for Struk’s arrival.
A Fresh Face in the Midfield
Brito expressed excitement about the new recruit, noting that Struk’s blend of technical ability and tactical awareness should strengthen the midfield as the team looks to build on recent success.
