NSC acquires international roster spot in exchange for Canadian forward

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Saint Louis FC on Thursday acquired forward Michael Cox in a trade with Nashville SC in exchange for an international roster spot. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.

“I’m excited to join the club and I’m happy to be here,” said Cox. “I’m hopeful to be another attacking threat, even though there are a few here already, and look forward to contributing right away.”

Cox was born in Calgary, Alberta and turned professional as a 17-year-old for FC Edmonton, for which he made 51 appearances and scored nine goals during the 2010-2013 seasons. He then moved to Finland to play for Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS) in 2014 where he made 11 appearances and scored two goals before returning to Canada to play for York University where he led the team to a CIS Championship with 16 appearances and 16 goals in 2015. 

Cox signed with Orlando City B at the start of 2016, where he competed for current Saint Louis FC Head Coach Anthony Pulis, and recorded 13 goals in 45 appearances over the course of two seasons before signing with Nashville SC at the start of the 2018 USL season. 

“I’m delighted to have signed Michael, a forward who is really powerful, quick and strong with a good goal-scoring record at this level,” said Pulis. “He gives us some much-needed firepower in an area where we are light at the moment with injuries so we are excited for him to join the group.”
