Rozhansky transferred to Maryland from Virginia before his junior season and captained the side during his senior season, where he scored four goals and provided nine assists in 19 starts.
He was set to participate in the MLS Combine at the end of this month before announcing this move.
Maccabi Netanya are currently fifth in the Israeli Premier League after getting promoted from the second division last season. They would qualify for the UEFA Champions League should they end up winning the league and the Europa League if they come in second or third place.
You go kid! Chase the European dream!! (According to FIFA, Israel is in Europe, right?) Also, say hello to Alex Zahavi if you see him. I’m sorry he never turned into the star we all hoped
Does he get his deposit back?? (after dropping out of the Combine before it starts)
Is his head really as big as it appears to be?
