Dion Acoff is a 27 year old winger originally from Fontana, California. He is currently playing for SJK in the Veijkausliiga (first tier) Finland. He signed his first professional contract with Thróttur Reykjavík in the third tier in Iceland when he was 23 years old. After two successful seasons with them, he was signed by Valur Reykjavík; where he played in the Europa League and Champions League Qualifiers. Believe it or not, Dion actually quit playing soccer for 1 year after graduating from UCSB. He went into personal training, but was really missing the game. This is when he ended up getting a call from a friend, and his agent, who sent him to Iceland. The rest is history!
