Perica "Peri" Marošević (born May 5, 1989) is an American former soccer player.

Early life

[edit]

Marošević was born to a Croat father and a Serb mother in Bosnia in Yugoslavia prior to the Bosnian War, and initially moved to Frankfurt, Germany with his parents as a young child to escape the conflict, before eventually settling in Rockford, Illinois.[2]

Career

[edit]

Youth and college

[edit]

Marošević attended Guilford High School in Rockford, IL and Edison High School in Bradenton, FL, played club soccer with the Rockford Raptors and Chicago Sockers,[3] and played college soccer at the University of Michigan, where he was named to the CoSida Academic All-District First Team in 2007, was a two-time All-Big Ten Second Team nominee and a one-time All-Big Ten First Team nominee, scoring 24 goals and registering seven assists becoming the team's leading scorer 2 out of his 3 seasons.[4] During his college years he also played with Chicago Fire Premier in the USL Premier Development League.

Professional

[edit]

Marošević was drafted in the first round (fifth overall) by FC Dallas in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, and signed to a Generation Adidas contract. He made his professional debut on March 29, 2009, in a Dallas's game against Chivas USA.[5] In April 2009, Peri appeared alongside 14 other Major League Soccer Players on Cosmogirl.com's "Hottest Soccer Guys".[6]

In June 2010, having found it increasingly difficult to break into the FC Dallas first team, Marošević was loaned to USSF-D2 side Austin Aztex.[7] He made his debut for the Aztex on June 19, coming on as a substitute against Miami FC.[8] Marošević scored a hat-trick for the Aztex in a second round Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup game against Arizona Sahuaros on June 22, 2010. The young striker ended his month-long loan deal tallying four goals in four games.[9]

Marošević was signed by Toronto FC on July 28, 2011,[10] after asking to be released from FC Dallas. Two days later Marošević made his debut for Toronto as a second half sub for Nick Soolsma against Portland Timbers, with Toronto down 2–0. Marosevic ignited a comeback by scoring on his debut in the 63rd minute followed by a Danny Koevermans strike, earning a well-fought 2–2 away draw for Toronto FC. In Toronto's next league match against DC United, Peri again came in the game as a second-half substitute earning his second league goal in only two league appearances for Toronto FC. The game ended in a 3–3 draw.[11] Marošević made his mark on the Reds season once again scoring against UNAM Pumas in the CONCACAF Champions League group stage, the game ended in a 1–1 home draw to the Mexican side.[12]

Marošević declined a contract offer by Toronto FC in January 2012.[13] In October 2012, he signed with NK Junak Sinj of the Croatian second division.[14]

On February 21, 2013, Marošević signed on to play for New York Cosmos in the team's inaugural year in the NASL.[15]

In July, 2014, the New York Cosmos cut ties with Marošević. [16]

International

[edit]

Marošević has been a member of the U.S. U-17,[17] U-18,[18] and U-20[19] national teams. He was a member of the squad for the United States in the 2009 U-20 FIFA World Cup,[20] coming on as a substitute at halftime in a 3–0 loss to Korea.[21]
