Aiden Cogdill

I joined STA ECNL in 2024 as a freshman, wearing #5 and serving as team captain. Before STA, I've trained with Benfica, played in the Iber Cup Portugal, & played for The Football Academy of NJ 2010 Black ('20–'24). As a 3-yr captain for FA, I played the 2, 6, 7, 8, & 10 positions. My team was a finalist in the 2024 USYS National Championship & won titles like the State Cup (U11, U13, U14) & Jefferson Cup. At Cranford H.S., I earned a varsity letter as a freshman, recording the 2nd-most assists on the team. I also captained the JV team, contributing key goals & assists while demonstrating leadership. Since 2024, I’ve volunteered with US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer, supporting athletes with disabilities. Through adaptive soccer, I’ve helped them build skills, gain confidence, & enjoy the game.
