“Bradley was a constant in our backline last season and is part of a core group of players returning for 2023,” said Randy Ribiero, ECFC men’s and women’s head coach. “His desire to win, willingness to compete and the character he has, exemplifies what it means to play for this organization and represent the City of Peterborough.” 

Heath played over 1700 minutes and helped the team earn eight shutouts in his 20 games started. He was named a Western Conference All-Star while playing with FC London during the prior two seasons and named OCAA West Defender of the Year in 2018 and 2021 during his four years with the Fanshawe Falcons. 

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to return to Peterborough this summer with Electric City,“ he said. “We’ve got a young and talented group coming in, along with great coaches to work with.”

McQueen led OCAA Women’s Soccer prior to joining ECFC last year with 17 goals in five games for Fanshawe College. She was named team captain and OCAA Women’s soccer West Division Player of the Year. McQueen also received CCAA All-Canadian honours for the 2021-22 season.

“Returning to ECFC means being surrounded by the best community and fans the league has seen,” said McQueen. “I am looking forward to working with familiar faces and meeting new players and staff.”

McQueen played in all 19 women’s matches last season, scoring 13 goals and finishing fourth in League 1 Ontario for scoring.

“I am thrilled to have Kayla returning for 2023,” said Ribeiro, “Kayla proved last season that she is one of the top strikers in this league. She is a player that the fans and community really got behind and is a joy to watch play. Kayla led our team in scoring last season, and we will look for her to continue that form this year.”
