University of Louisville men's soccer head coach Ken Lolla announced on Friday the addition of four mid-year transfers to the Cardinals for 2015.

Goalkeeper Theo Jamiloux (Florida Atlantic), midfielder Daniel Johnson (Maryland), forward Ethan Vanacore-Decker (Connecticut) and forward Nedin Zukanovic (Lindsey Wilson) joined the Louisville program with the start of the spring semester last month. Each of the four newcomers will be eligible to compete for the Cardinals during the upcoming spring exhibition season as well as the 2015 regular season.

"In the group of transfers, we are receiving not only a very experienced and talented group, but specifically in positions of need," Lolla said. "They will have an immediate impact in our spring as well as the fall season."

A native of Toulouse, France, Jamiloux has two years of eligibility remaining after playing each of the last two seasons at Florida Atlantic. While with the Owls, Jamiloux started 31 matches and had five total shutouts in his two seasons in Boca Raton, Fla.

Hailing from Duluth, Ga., Johnson has two years of eligibility left after playing in 23 matches with one start in his two seasons at Maryland. Prior to competing for the Terrapins, Johnson lived in England from 2009-12 where he attended Brentwood School and played club soccer for West Ham United.

A native of Manahawkin, N.J., Vanacore-Decker has two years of eligibility remaining after playing in 30 matches for UConn during the last two seasons, including 19 starts in 2014. During his sophomore season, Vanacore-Decker was second on the Huskies with six goals, including two game-winners, and 15 points.

From Srebrenica, Bosnia, Zukanovic has three years of eligibility left after playing just one season at Lindsey Wilson College. As a freshman with the Blue Raiders in 2014, Zukanovic scored two goals while seeing action in 15 matches and making six starts.

Louisville begins its spring exhibition slate on Sunday, March 8 at 3 p.m., ET when new USL Pro team Louisville City FC visits Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn Stadium. Ticket information for the match will be announced soon.
