A two-time Atlantic 10 champion during his playing career in Buff and Blue from 2002-05, he brought nearly 15 years of coaching experience to the program.

As a student-athlete, Mortimer was a standout defender during one of the program's most successful periods.

The Leighton Buzzard, England, native was part of A-10 title runs in 2002 and 2004 while also being celebrated individually with All-Conference (2004, 2005), All-Region (2004) and All A-10 Championship (2004) honors. He closed his decorated career with 65 total starts while contributing seven goals and four assists along the way.

After graduating in 2006 with a degree in English, Mortimer quickly transitioned into coaching with a variety of local organizations, including a seven-year run on staff at American University.

With the Eagles, Mortimer was part of a program that won 62 games and claimed a pair of Patriot League regular season titles during his tenure.

Mortimer also served as technical director with Northern Virginia-based Excite Soccer and spent a decade as part of the leadership team of DC Stoddert Soccer. Since 2012, he has owned and operated FourSoccer running local camps and clinics, as well.
