Toledo, OH---Josh Kleinow, a 6'5" goalkeeper, has signed a letter of intent to join the Express men's soccer program.

"Josh is very appreciative of the opportunity to take his skills to the college level," said Express men's soccer head coach Art Johnson. "His 6'5" frame is a great asset as a goalkeeper, but with the level of competition we have on the schedule his initiation to NJCAA Div. 1 soccer will be immediate. I expect him to be a vital contributor to our growth as a team."

The Holt, MI native was a First Team All-Conference and First Team All-District selection at Haslett HS in Haslett, MI.

Kleinow, who also participated in basketball his senior year, was coached by Alex Hayner at Haslett.

He joins a class that already includes Brandon Cruz of Mentor, OH, Odaine Edwards of Colorado Springs, CO, Virgil Garcia of Holland, OH, Vijay Gentles of Margate, FL and Tyler Kortokrax of Kalida, OH.
