On signing with the team Brad said “I am pleased to be signing for the Dynamos this season. After a few conversations with Karl, it was clear to me the direction the club is heading in and it’s something I want to be a part of. The team is looking strong and I’m excited to get going come September. I look forward to meeting everyone soon.”

 “I’m very happy to have Brad join us this season. He’s coming from a few years now playing in the National League and I’m sure that this experience and exposure can only help us take another step forward in our development. At the age of 21 he is still evolving his own game and with different responsibilities and expectations here, we are sure to witness his own next steps. Having a strong netminder core is vital to any success and there’s no question in my mind that between both him and Owen we are in safe hands. So welcome to the Dynamos Brad.”
