GIORDANO ON MARTIN: "Darien is a mature and experienced left sided defender. He joins us from a winning program that consistently performs. We know he will have an immediate impact on our culture with this mentality of showing up every day. With the ability to play multiple positions, his level-headed demeanor and desire to make an impact in the Brown & White will play large dividends for our group from day one."

Landon Weber joins the Brown and White from Chesterfield, Mo. and spent last season at Creighton in the Big East Conference. Prior to Creighton, Weber was a standout midfielder for DeSmet Jesuit as well as STL City Academy. He was selected as an All-American, the Missouri Player of the Year and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Missouri Player of the Year.

He helped STL City Academy to the U-16 MLS Next Cup Final Four, scoring the game-winning goal to advance the team. Weber also appeared in the U-17 MLS Next Cup Elite Eight.

GIORDANO ON WEBER: "Landon is an all-around midfielder our staff is excited to have join us. He comes to us from one of the most historic collegiate programs in the country known for producing top footballers and people. Landon has the ability to pick a pass while also encompasses the value of tackling in the midfield. His ability to cover ground in the press is an exceptional trait that will make an impact immediately to our midfield."

Winston Jory comes to St. Bonaventure after two seasons at Feather River College. A native of Brisbane, Australia, Jory was a standout goalkeeper at Feather River, making 37 appearances and 36 starts in net. He posted 19 shutouts and stopped 122 shots across two seasons.

He also spent time with Brisbane City FC, earning club Goalkeeper of the Year honors in 2020.

GIORDANO ON JORY: "Winston is a highly touted goalkeeper joining us from one of the best Junior Colleges in California. His size and winner mentality jump off the page. More impressive than both of those is Winston's humbleness. He hates to lose and consistently puts in the work to improve his game while improving those around him. Our staff knows his determination and drive will improve our desire to be more settled defensively."

Joining the Bonnies is midfielder Manex Landa from Zarautz, Spain.

GIORDANO ON LANDA: "Manex is an experienced winner. Joining us from an NAIA powerhouse, Manex knows what it takes on and off the field to be successful at a top collegiate program. His desire to get on the ball to play out of the press stood out to us. Also, he is no stranger to putting in a tackle to win possession back right away. While his ability on the field stood out to our staff, Manex's character as a person truly screamed, we had to have him in the Brown & White. His experience, his leadership, and his drive will impact our program in all facets."

Bence Stanciu comes to the Bonnies after a season at South Florida. A native of Toronto, Ontario, Stanciu appeared in five games at forward for the Bulls in 2025. Stanciu has also spent time with Vaughn FC.

GIORDANO ON STANCIU: "Bence is an attacking player we were impressed with prior to his time at South Florida. He brings power, pace, and wonderful technique when striking the ball. Bence's work rate out of possession stood out most for our staff as we looked to strengthen our attacking presence. He will add to our growing Canadian talent within the roster.

Joining the Brown and White is goalkeeper Dylan Mueller from Carlsbad, Calif. Mueller spent his freshman season at Lake Tahoe Community College where he appeared in nine games, making seven starts. Mueller made 16 saves in 2025. Prior to Lake Tahoe, Mueller spent time with City SC San Diego, qualifying for MLS Next Flex and Playoffs in multiple seasons.

GIORDANO ON MUELLER: "Dylan is a top goalkeeper coming to us from a powerhouse junior college in California. Prior to his time at Lake Tahoe, he played at an elite level in MLS Next for City SC.
