Mavila, who is studying for his degree in Sport Science through the University of East London, is looking forward to joining Calgary’s new professional soccer team in the new league.

“For me it was more about trying something new, being outside of my comfort zone and seeing what could blossom from it,” said Nathan Mavila, via a club statement Wednesday.

Modern day left back

And Cavalry FC’s head coach believes the London-raised left back can find a home in his growing roster.

“Nathan is an exciting young talent with pedigree that has lightening pace and a terrific left foot,” said Cavalry FC head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. “He fit the profile of the modern day left back we were looking for and another exciting young import who has his best years ahead of him”.
