Utica City FC continues to build its roster.

The most recent addition is another player from the Major Arena Soccer League team's time in Syracuse. The team moved from Syracuse in June.

Veteran midfielder/forward Slavisa Ubiparipovic has been signed for the upcoming season, the team announced Tuesday.

Ubiparipovic, who is 5-foot-11 and from Bosnia, has played 136 games with Syracuse totaling 119 goals and 220 points. Last season, he finished with 23 goals and 16 assists in 21 games.

Ubiparipovic began his soccer career in his native Bosnia and came to the U.S. in 1999.

“Slavisa brings composure and a technical ability on the field that separates him from most players in the MASL,” General Manager Tommy Tanner said in a news release. “He is a special player whom we will need to be a leader in the league this season.”

Utica City FC, which will begin its first MASL season in December, is set to play an intersquad game at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18 at the Adirondack Bank Center at Utica Memorial Auditorium.

The team opens the regular-season Saturday, Dec. 1 and plays its first home game the next day. A majority of the team’s home games are on Sundays.
