Portland, Ore.| The Warner Pacific Knights men's soccer program is excited to announce the addition of senior transfer Aiden Morales for the upcoming season.
 
Morales joins the Knights with a wealth of collegiate experience and a proven track record of success. Originally from South Lake Tahoe, California, he attended South Tahoe High School, where he competed on the varsity soccer team for all four years of his high school career.
 
During his time at South Tahoe, Morales developed into a dependable player and leader while gaining valuable experience against top competition. His commitment to the game laid the foundation for a successful collegiate career that has taken him across multiple programs and conferences.
 
Following high school, Morales began his collegiate journey at Lake Tahoe Community College, where he spent two years continuing his development both academically and athletically. During his time there, he helped his team capture a Golden Valley Conference Championship and earned Golden Valley Second Team All-Conference honors for his performance on the field.
 
Morales later continued his education and soccer career at Wheeling University, where he spent a semester competing at the next level before deciding to continue his collegiate journey with the Knights.
 
Head Coach Troy Ready is excited about the experience, leadership, and defensive presence Morales will bring to the program.
 
"Aiden possesses a unique ability to be fast, aggressive, and physical while also maintaining his composure," Ready said. "He is a leader within any team and models what it means to work hard in every situation. We are thrilled to add another incredible defender to our team."
 
At Warner Pacific, Morales plans to pursue a degree in business. His academic interests complement the leadership, discipline, and work ethic he has demonstrated throughout his athletic career.
 
Away from soccer, Morales enjoys spending time outdoors and staying active. His favorite hobbies include fishing, hiking, and working out in the gym, activities that reflect his appreciation for adventure, fitness, and the outdoors.
 
The Knights are thrilled to welcome Morales to Portland and look forward to the experience, maturity, and leadership he will bring to the program. As a senior, Morales will provide valuable depth and insight while helping the Knights pursue success both on and off the field.
