Coach Jones on Lifka: "We are extremely excited to add Fabian to our program for the next four years. To be able to bring in a player from such a prestigious academy like Eintracht Frankfurt is another huge step forward for our program. Fabian is a central midfield player with an extremely high soccer intelligence and the work rate, and technical ability to match. A huge amount of credit goes to our Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator Nate Boyden. Nate identified and evaluated Fabian early on as a potential player who would not only benefit our program on the field, but off it as well. Once Coach Boyden made an in-person evaluation in Germany, it only served as confirmation that Fabian would be a great fit for Loyola."
