Nico Pasquotti (born 18 October 1995) is a Canadian soccer player.

Club career

Calgary Foothills

In 2016, Pasquotti made twelve appearances for USL Premier Development League side Calgary Foothills, scoring one goal.[1] That fall he attended the University of Lethbridge, where he made fourteen appearances and scored one goal.[2] In 2017, Pasquotti made another thirteen appearances for Foothills.[1]

In 2018, Pasquotti made thirteen league appearances, scoring three goals.[3] In the playoffs that year, he appeared in four playoff matches and scored the game-winning goal as the Foothills went on to win the PDL Championship.[3] Pasquotti was subsequently named MVP of the 2018 PDL Championship.[4]

Cavalry FC

On 23 January 2019, Pasquotti signed with Canadian Premier League side Cavalry FC, rejoining former Calgary Foothills coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. and several of his Foothills teammates.[4] On 8 May 2019, he made his professional debut as a substitute against Valour FC.[5] Pasquotti scored his first goal for Cavalry on May 12 against Forge FC.[6] Pasquotti's first season with Cavalry was quite personally successful despite his side losing to Forge in the 2019 Canadian Premier League Finals: he became a mainstay in the starting eleven, contributed 5 goals and 7 assists throughout all competitions, and became renowned for his dangerous long throw-ins.[7]

After training with RCD Mallorca and Ross County in the offseason, he re-signed with Cavalry FC ahead of the 2020 season on January 29, 2020.[8][9] In September 2020, Pasquotti would suffer a torn ACL in a match against Pacific FC, which would keep him out of action for 6–9 months.[10]
