Pertz And Gillespie To Wear Concave Football Boots In Pasl Action

Jan. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Two Ohio Vortex players, Michael Pertz and Steve Gillespie, have agreed to wear the Concave PT Dome for their remaining PASL matches. They are among the first players to wear this product here in the United States.

Pertz, a defender with excellent size and speed, has been a stalwart for the Vortex back line. He has recently drawn interest from several USL and NASL clubs. Pertz is expected to be part of an invite-only combine with the Portland Timbers next week. The Timbers, who will compete next season in the USSF Division II League, will join MLS in 2011 as an expansion franchise. Scouts have been impressed with the play of the young defender, who has already scored two goals for the Vortex this season.

Gillespie, who spent last season with the Cleveland City Stars, has quickly become a fan favorite in Canton. The former Columbus Crew Reserves player has contributed two goals and six assists in PASL play. He scored the game-winner against the Detroit Waza on January 15th in front of a record home crowd. Like Pertz, Gillespie has been on the radar of several USL and NASL clubs. Scouting reports suggest that Gillespie has the tools necessary to eventually reach MLS or even an overseas club.

Concave Sports has made quite a splash here in the U.S. after great success in Europe. Their line of technologically advanced football boots created quite a buzz at the 2010 NSCAA Convention, where attendees flocked to the Concave booth to try out the shoes that turn heads and improve play.
