Career

Kuzminsky played five years of college soccer at the University of Alabama at Birmingham between 2012 and 2016, including a red-shirted year in 2012.[1]

Kuzminsky also played with USL PDL side Real Colorado Foxes in 2014.[2]

Kuzminsky signed with USL Championship club Charleston Battery on March 21, 2017.[3]

In January 2020, Kuzminsky was sent on a season-long loan to Maccabi Haifa of the Israeli Premier League.[4]

Kuzminsky entered the 2022 season as the longest-tenured player on the Battery, his sixth year with the team.[5] He played his 100th overall game for the club on April 23, 2022, against Louisville City FC, a 1-1 draw at home.[6] Kuzminsky also scored the fire goal of his career during the 2022 season, finding the back of the net in stoppage time against Loudoun United FC in a successful last-ditch effort to earn a 1-1 draw at the death.[7] Following the 2022 season, Kuzminsky was released by Charleston.[8]

On December 9, 2022, it was announced that Kuzminsky would join USL Championship side Colorado Springs Switchbacks for their 2023 season.[9]
