Cox Commits to Tigers for 2026-27 season.

Halifax, NS native Sam Cox is the newest addition to the men's soccer team. Cox will bring his technical ability, versatility up front, and positional awareness to the reigning AUS Champions. 

He most recently competed with Suburban FC U17AAA, where he helped his team win the Nova Scotia Cup in 2025, punching their ticket to the Toyota Canada Soccer National Championships, which they ended up winning – becoming the first team from Nova Scotia to achieve this accomplishment. During his 2024 season, Cox was also part of Suburban's Canada Youth Cup winning team.  

When asked about his choice to attend Dalhousie, Cox credited the decision to the coach's belief in his abilities. He is also looking forward to growing academically at one of Canada's top schools.  

Coach Alan Jazic has shared his excitement on his team's newest recruit. 

"I'm really excited to be welcoming Sam to our program. I've been following Sam for a couple of years now and I believe he has a very high ceiling for growth and development. He can play anywhere across the front line, and he can drop and receive in pockets of space," Jazic said. "Athletically and physically, I see Sam giving defenders in this league a difficult time. He can run at you with the ball at his feet, and he can run the lanes in behind with pace and explosion.  I see Sam developing into a solid goal scorer in this league for years to come. I'm really excited to be working with Sam over the next 4-5 years." 

Cox has also shared his excitement to join the Black & Gold this fall.  

"I'm really excited about the chance to come to Dalhousie. It's a great program, and I know it will be the perfect place for me to keep improving," Cox said. "I'm looking forward to working hard, learning from the coaches, and being part of the team." 

The Tigers continue to build towards another successful AUS season. 

Welcome to the Tigers, Sam.
