Miloš Kočić (born June 4, 1985 in Leskovac) is a Serbian soccer player who currently plays for D.C. United in Major League Soccer.

[edit] Career

[edit] Youth and College

Kočić was born in Yugoslavia prior to that country's breakup in the aftermath of the Bosnian war. He began playing soccer in the Serbian League East, and was part of the youth system of his home town team Dubočica Leskovac^[1] before coming to the United States in 2004.

He played college soccer at St. John's University and at Loyola College in Maryland. Kocic red-shirted during his first year in the US at St. John's before transferring to Loyola. At Loyola, he struggled at first - in 2006, he was the second goalkeeper and only found time in two matches the entire season. However, he made great strides the next two years and in 2008 (his final season at Loyola) he was named First Team All-MAAC as well as being named to the All-North Atlantic Regional Team and the All-American second team.

[edit] Professional

Kočić was drafted in the second round (21st overall) of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft by D.C. United^[2], but did not sign with the team immediately; after several offers with clubs in his native Serbia, including Red Star Belgrade^[3], he eventually decided to sign a developmental contract with Major League Soccer.

Kočić made his professional debut for DC on April 22, 2009, in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup against FC Dallas.^[4] He made his MLS debut the following week, on May 2, 2009, also against FC Dallas^[5].

[edit] Personal

Kočić graduated from Loyola College with a degree in International Business.^[6]
