Dub Narcotic Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 VANCOUVER, BC - Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced on Tuesday the addition of defender Dominick Zator to the Whitecaps FC 2 (WFC2) roster for the 2017 United Soccer League (USL) season - pending league and federation approval. WFC2 defender Dominick Zator Tallied six goals and 15 assists while starting 67 of 68 conference matches in five years with University of Calgary Named second-team U Sports All-Canadian in 2016 after leading Canada West with 11 assists Played two seasons for Calgary Foothills FC in the USL Premier Development League “Dominick is a promising young prospect. He had a strong collegiate career and was an important member of the Calgary Foothills FC 2016 USL PDL final team,” said WFC2 head coach Rich Fagan. “He is an athletic centre back with excellent tactical awareness. He'll have a chance to be an important piece on our team.” Zator, 22, signs his first professional contract with Whitecaps FC 2 after featuring for the University of Calgary as a five-year starter. The 6-foot-1 centre back started 67 of a possible 68 conference matches from 2012 through 2016, tallying six goals and 15 assists for the Dinos. Wearing the captain's armband in his last three years, the Calgary native was named to the U Sports All-Canadian second team after leading Canada West with 11 assists in 2016. While in university, Zator played for his hometown Calgary Foothills FC, where he was teammates with current WFC2 goalkeeper Sean Melvin. Zator recorded one goal in 22 regular season matches in the USL Premier Development League from 2015 through 2016. He was named to the 2016 PDL All-Playoffs team, after scoring a late game-winner to lead his side to a 2-1 win over FC Tucson and the Western Conference championship. In February 2016, the centre back was invited to a 10-day trial with English League One outfit Oxford United FC.

Ansem Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) According to Onesoccer hang out, Cavalry was close to send Dominick Zator on loan to a Championship club but it felt through. This could be revisited in the next window but there's no dout in my mind that he's not staying to CPL very long. One of the few who I would put in the CanMNT and not blink at defense. Future is bright for this one Edited October 6, 2020 by Ansem Ivan, dyslexic nam, Obinna and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully in January he's in the championship. We could have a CB in the championship and Bundesliga 2 playing.

badname22 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Which countries still have open markets? Would love to see more Canadians move.

Shway Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) He’s one of the best defenders in the CPL, I was actually surprised that Waterman went before him.

From getting released by a USL squad to a probable loan spell/option to purchase in the EFL Championship; all within 3 years. That is the definition of an upswing.

SpursFlu Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 CB is probably the outfield position that needs the most seasoning and experience. CBs are also rare commodity in world football right now Nate3322 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 No calls from MLS clubs for Zator according to Wheeldon besides the failed Championship loan deal. Thinks that Zator is as good as MLS defenders or even better but provided great insight on him and why he's not getting MLS calls johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yea I just listened and it's crazy, it seems like Canadian MLS teams rate the CAN PL but the American ones don't, also he's an international so that does not help him ? Unless because he's a Whitecaps grad he isn't ? I think that CDN MLS teams will end up with a huge advantage picking up out of the league because of its cheap talent, but there needs to be more Waterman's. Crazy that the Championship rates him and the MLS does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diego Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Cavalry FC reporting that Zator (amongst others) is not coming back for the 2021 season. They specifically mention that he rejected their contract extension offer to explore free agency. https://cavalryfc.canpl.ca/article/cavalry-fc-confirms-player-departures-from-the-2020-roster Hope he has a move lined up.

Dominic94 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I don’t think he’s leaving Calgary just to go elsewhere in Can PL, surely someone in mls would Atleast invite him to camp. I’m hard pressed to think that no MLS team wouldn’t sign him cheap for a year or so. @GlassCity any of you sources know what’s up with him ? Whitecap interest ? toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He seemed pretty on par with Krutzen who is on trial with a top division Swedish team. Would be cool to see him get a chance in Scandinavia. HochelagaFC, hamiltonfan, Nate3322 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He was lined up for a move in Europe that didn't pan out a few months back. The smart money would be there.. except wouldn't it have happened by now? Must be some MLS interest. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him at the Caps training camp. Whether he has enough to persuade them to dump a CB is another matter. Dominic94 and N1ckbr0wn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The caps makes a lot of sense because of his ability to play right back. He could compete with JN for minutes while giving them another CB option. He scored against them in the Voyageurs cup and obviously knows the club from his developmental years. The caps brought Didic in for a trial so we know they are not against taking a look at CPL players. All of that said, I think England may be where he ends up given the rumors from a few months ago. Mid table League One perhaps? Top flight Scandanavia would be cool too. N1ckbr0wn and badname22 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
