Selmir Miscic made long-awaited pro debut for Bethlehem Steel FC on Sunday

Bethlehem Steel FC midfielder Selmir Miscic made his professional debut on Sunday, 270 days after signing his first pro contract with the club as a 15-year-old.

“Obviously I’ve been waiting for a long time to make my debut, I’ve had a lot of injuries this season, so for a young guy it’s very tough to go through that, being injured and wanting to play,” Miscic said after the match, a 4-1 loss to Nashville SC at La Salle University. “You do what you can with the minutes you get. I felt confident, I felt good and I felt like I could have made a bigger impact, but it is what it is.
