SC United Bantams’ defender selected as league’s top defensive player in 2021

TAMPA, Fla.- SC United Bantams defender Toby Sims has been named the 2021 USL League Two Defender of the Year. During the 2021 season, Sims was a standout among the League Two defenders earning him an award for his dominant performances in the defensive half. Sims was selected to receive the Defender of the Year award by a vote among League Two clubs.

Throughout the 2021 season, Sims played an integral part in leading the Bantams to a first place standing in the Deep South Division and a berth in the 2021 League Two Playoffs. Sims’ dominance in the back line assisted the Bantams in recording a regular season record of 11-1-2 while making it all the way to the Conference Semifinals before falling short to North Carolina Fusion U23. Sims recorded 1,108 minutes of play in 13 matches this season and managed to net two goals and one assist for the Bantams. 

A dominant presence in the defensive half, Sims combines his soccer intellect with his ability to read the game, making him a tough matchup for any opposing forward. In the 13 matches that Sims was on the pitch this season, the Bantams conceded only 18 goals, keeping five clean sheets and losing just twice. His leadership was a key factor in the South Carolina side capturing its first place standing in the Deep South Division this season.
