Utica City FC has added its first forward to the team’s roster.

The Major Arena Soccer League team, announced Thursday the signing of forward Bozidar Jelovac for the team’s first season in Utica.

The Belgrade, Serbia native played all 22 games last season for the Syracuse Silver Knights, which moved to Utica in June. Jelovac, a team captain for Syracuse from 2015 to 2017, recorded 26 points last season (13-13-26).

The 31-year-old spent the last six years playing between the MASL and the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL), contributing 56 goals and 56 assists in 124 games.

The University at Albany graduate played all four years with the Great Danes, where he was a co-captain, led the team in scoring and named to the America East All-Conference Second Team as a senior in 2010.

Jelovac is now the seventh player – all of whom were on the Syracuse roster a year ago – to be signed by Utica ahead of the upcoming MASL season.
