FMSpro is proud to announce the commitment of Robert Barkman to Central Connecticut State University (NCAA D1).

Robert is an exceptionally athletic and technical goalkeeper currently competing for Woodbridge. His development includes significant time training within the Toronto FC Academy, where he honed his skills alongside some of the top goalkeeping talent in Ontario. Robert excels at claiming crosses and takes great pride in commanding his penalty area. Known for his relentless work ethic and “hard-nosed” competitive nature, he never hesitates to leave his line to challenge for balls or shut down attacking threats.

Off the field, Robert has been equally disciplined, maintaining a high GPA throughout his studies.

Central Connecticut State head coach David Kelly is eager to integrate Robert into the squad. With a significant opening in the goalkeeper position, the coaching staff anticipates an immediate opportunity for Robert to step in and compete for minutes. The Blue Devils are excited about their returning core and are focused on contending for an NEC Championship this coming season.

Big congratulations, Robert! We wish you the very best as you begin your Division I journey.
